Default best mod evar

words to the wise: jackstands &gt; ramps.

if you only have access to ramps, you'd need to unscrew the 2 bolts holding the exhaust under the bumper (pass-side) so the swaybars go out and in easily. ramps blocks the way of the bars, but a bit of extra clearance above the cat-muffler pipe is all you need.

also, dont forget the white lithium grease, i did because somehow my autotech RSB didnt come with lube. no grease = mad squeakage. i later used multipurpose synth grease and it lasted about a month until it rained hard.

Default Why not the NS bar? better torsinal rigidity and much lighter...

...there a reason the stock bar is hollow. No brand nuthugging here either..Here's another one for you...I've tried both...NS hands down. Danke.

Default weight also depends on the metal / alloy used.

The H&amp;R bar felt barely heavier than stock.

One advantage of the H&amp;R over the neuspeed is that it uses teflon lined bushings which require no greasing and do not squeak.
