Racing Beat sway bars install

Got me a set of Racing Beat anti-roll bars. Finally. 2 month back orders suck. Anyhow, any tips to make the install easier.

Install looks pretty straight forward, but I have found the instructions that Racing Beat usually provides is just enough info to make things complex.

Thanks

Their pretty easy to install, but the rear bushing for me was just to thick. I had to cut a- little. Maybe you won't.

Do you know if you have to pull one of the mufflers to replace the rear bar if the mufflers are aftermarket? I really don't want to.

Not that it is hard, but I am just lazy like that.

Depends on how far back the mufflers sit. It was kinda close on my car, but still had enough room.

Yup, some creative manuvering for the rear bar, but about an hours worth of install for both from putting it on the rack to pull it off. Gotta love working at a dealership.
