Sway install

Hi I was wondering how hard it is to install sways it says 4 hours on comptech site but then I read that some people say it is an easy install. If it is easy was does it take so long, can a regular guy person handle it, the only thing I have ever done to a car is change the intake on my old maxima. Thanks for any help.

Yes, the sway install is very easy and straightforward. The hardest part for me was removing that damn front sway b/c you have to twist and turn it certain directions to clear the cat. Other than that, it took me only 30 minutes from lift to test-drive.

just watch those bolts with the hex key inside of them. I think a few people didn't realize they were there and stripped the bolts.

Thanks for the info guys when you buy the sways do they come with instructions because I have never done anything like this before and will I need any special tools.

Thanks again

Just a good socket and wrench set and hex key wrenches. CTs pdf instructions are HERE and yes they come with the sways, but CTs instructs are known to be vauge.
just be patient and take your time. if you haven't done any DIY on your own car, make sure you have a whole day free
Here are some pics from my Eibach anti roll kit install. It was awhile ago so i don't remember specifics.


guess which one is stock

easy way to see whats going on up front

make sure you have a good jack and jack stands.

fronts are similar in size, but I believe the eibach and the C/T is solid compared to a hollow stock sway bar.
