Rear anti-sway bar is Junk
« on: January 02, 2012 - 05:48:26 PM »
When removed for the rebuild, my rear bar brackets were in real bad shape. Just wanted opinions on how the hoctkis bars look under our cars. Will it look out of place, should I keep looking for an original? I'm running out of time! Thanks

Try and track down an original bar from Ebay/Tony's/etc.  You should be able to get it for under $200.

Not like the OEM one.
For what it's worth, I had one of these and snapped both the end link bolts because of the way it mounts (under the rear axle).  I called their tech support and basically got the run-around that it was mounted wrong, but it was put on the way they told us to.  I pulled it off and bought a used rear bar for $100, then got the other parts through Ebay and Tony's.
