Thanks to MackDaddy, I completed my Sway install this afternoon in about 2 1/2 hours. What a diff! I have a freeway onramp near me that I often take at 45. I just took it a 60 with the sways!

The car just rides like a slot car now. I love it!

Best to all!

 

the sways take 20 minutes to install

glad you like them, the springs make you handle better WAY more than the sways

 

Best mod for the $

 

Does anybody have a link to the Sway bar install instructions... I used Search and only found bits and pieces of advice..

anything out of the ordinary I need to watch out for??

thanks,

DOM

 

Dom418,
it's mad easy. did u order them yet. they come with instructions. if u have problems, someone from the site will help, maybe even me.

Pkane,
just wait till u get springs or coilovers. even a bigger difference.

 

TypeSDragoon:
No way man...sways kill springs...did you do springs then sways, or sways then springs? Maybe it's just that you got the Comptech sways heh heh.

Dom418:
I wrote up a nice big FAQ last night with a lot of pics. Adam should be putting it up here soon.

The biggest thing to the install is removing the old muthas & that is made easy by using a pair of needle nose vice grips to hold the endlink while you put a 14 mm socket on the nut. There is no other way to hold the stud! What a crazy design! I went out and bought a pair of vice grips for the job ($11.00) and it went like clockwork!

Good luck! Actually, it doesn't even take luck!

Thanks... I'm sure I'll be fine, I haven't even looked at it yet, so I really didn't know what to expect.

don't use the vice grips. there is an allen key slot on the stud. use the allen key to hold the stud instead. the vice grips will make marks on the thread and make it a pain in the ass to put the nut back on. not sure the size on the allen key though. may be 6 mm.

 

Comptech Web Site has the install instructions. Here is the link:

http://www.comptechusa.com/instructions/921050.pdf

There is a slight adjustment to the directions. On the sheet, it mentions the use of lubricant. The kit no longer comes with the grease, it comes with white plumber's teflon tape. If your used kit didn't have it, just go down to your local hardware store and get a roll. Should be about a $1. Wrap the rear bar with the teflon tape where the replacement bushings are to be installed. That is the only change to the directions. Looks like the other posts offer good tips. Good luck. It is an awesome mod!!!

There is no allen key that I saw! And the vice grips don't go on the threads - they go on the back side where they don't cause any problem. There is enough room to slip them in behind if they are small needle nose vice grips. Unless you can enlighten me, I didn't see any allens at all! I guess it's "whatever works", right?

Pete

 

i'll take pixs tomorrow and post them.

 

i circled the where you can put the allen key to hold the stud. just use a wrench to take off the nut. i think it's a 5 mm allen that fits it.

 

pkane:
Yeah I dunno man...but there is an allen key that goes in the end.

Dom418:
Adam hasn't had a chance to post my FAQ yet...I can email you the zip if you give me your email address.

Thanks AUstin, that would be great...

Sent bud go check your email!

thanks, DOM

 

Here's my pic. I still (for the life of me) don't see where an allen wrench would go!

pkane:
See that top end link? The one attached to the swaybar? On the other side of it, there is a bolt and nut sticking out. That bolt has a hole in it, the hole being a hex (allen) wrench shape. That is where you put it.

Austin519

 

the allen key goes inside the stud that the nut is on.

 

im not sure if ur cars come with them, but my Accord V6 comes with a little tool that is used to manually open the moonroof. I hear that tool is pefect for this job. My tool is in my stock toolbox in my trunk.

 

Pkane,

You dont' have this problem with girls do you?

 

 

You know, now that you mention it.....

Actually, with girls I use the touch it, feel it system - rather than seeing it! Works pretty well!

Thanks for the jab! Later
