Default Compared to the H&R rear anti-sways, Installing H&R front anti-sways is P..I..T..A..........

When I installed the Rear Anti-sways last month...It was pretty straightforward.just loosen the muffler bracket to work the new sways in and bolt it down.

Brown dropped off the Front anti-sways lastnight...and I thought it should be a quick bolt in job. But I swear H&R either made the bar 1/2" too short or the end bolts they supplied was'nt long enough. Over 3 hours I was wrestling the new "heavy" sway bar underneath my car in order for both end brackets by the swing arm to reach it. When it got dark, I gave up...drove to work today without any front sways. On my way home, I'm going to stop by the hardware and get slightly longer end bolts that matches the ones H&R supplied to finish the install.

That's weird. The H-Sport front bar connects on in no time.

Finish & welds on the Sway bars is pretty nice.But Dang, it sure so much heavier than the OEM

Default Yeah, that was the easier of the two. Used existing bolts too!

The rear bar was much harder to install.

Are you letting the wheels hang down or are they supported?
