First of all I would like to say BIG THANKS to Batman722... w/o him I had no chance get those parts to my country.
 ...and of course to author's of how-to articles (really handy especially for rear...) http://www.6gc.net/howto/install_front_sway_bar http://www.6gc.net/howto/install_rear_sway_bar Now I would like to share with some more details (maybe useful for other people as well) that surprised me during installation... a) I can not imagine that installation w/o decent jacking system and having car lifted really high. Though complete installation took about 4hrs (that's double than announced in how-to articles)   b) I found out old rear sways were rusted as hell...   ...but front not at all. Dunno why...  c) rear endlikns were easy to remove... but front ones...  ...on both sides had to be removed really violently (by cutting off the nuts)...    d) advice in how-to article about loosening tank and muffler was necessary even for me with custom exhaust pipes cuz I really had no chance pull old bar out of there w/o that step...  e) that "oversteer" question... (Quotation from how-to article) "The holes closer to the end of the bar can be used if you want more oversteer, but if you don't want as much oversteer, use the inside holes that are closer to the middle of the bar.". What is that "oversteer"? I have used those holes closer to the end because arm of sway bar was more horizontall that way (I hope you know what I mean)...  f) and last "issue" was with those new front endlinks... What direction is correct? With that nut up or down? Or it doesn't matter? I hope I have not them installed upside-down...  Any comments appreciated! Thanks...

Can anybody to a side to side Comparison picture of a Stock GT-4 SuperStrut Front Sway Bar End link vs SS-II/GT/ST McPherson Front Sway Bar End link. I'm curious to know whether the two's r us end link will work up front even though some said it doesn't.

I tried to use two's r us end links for my GT-four now and front is too short to fit. they are like 2-3x longer for front on GT-four. That black upper one is OEM GT-four rear and lowest one OEM GT-four front.  -------------------- No more replicas... This is evolution... This is SS-four :)
