UPDATE! sway install

here is the original thread with more pics
http://www.acura-cl.com/forums/showt...hreadid=118559

directions that Danny posted were great. don't know who made them, the only thing wrong is that the tools required said I need a spring compressor

install was pretty easy except for the rusty bolts. I didn't unhook the exhaust so I kind of scratched up the rear bar gettin it in, but it is possible to get in without taking them off. the front bolts were pretty rusty and hard to get to. and there is not much room to move around up there. It took only about half an hour for the rear, and over two hours for the front.
here are some pics!


Driving impressions:
WOW! big difference over stock. just weaving around in the road the front end moves so quickly. I hit the sandy beach twistys and the car stays pretty level. handles great. around a big left sweeper i got the rear to kick out a little when i let off the gas toward the end of the turn. sways are a must have mod.


the rear sway is bigger.

did you fart?

I think this is the easiest way to get to the front bolts.

they look the same size, but the eibach is wayy heavier due to the thicker walls.

my other Acura...that the wife drives just paid it off.

Hope you like!

I forgot why I wanted the eibachs. aren't they thicker? I like that they are red, but they can't be seen at all.

also, keep in mind i'm still driving around on those little 40-17-205 generic tires

Other than that, you couldn't ask for a better guide. I read it a few times, but I didn't use it much during the install. good job!
