Default If they are the new Neuspeed sway bars with support brackets...

you will need thin-walled sockets. It took me and 2 other friends 3 hours to install - but we really took our time.

3 hours, damn. Maybe I'll just add it to the list of stuff for MP to do when the V1 is hardwired

Default if you are considering intalling your own swaybar I would say you could probably hardwire your own

V1 in about 20 minutes, that was one of the easiest installs I have done on my car.

Default It will be easier if you have the right tools...

we spent a lot of time trying different tools to get to the hard to reach places.
