Before I get flamed, I've read the other threads and couldn't find my answer.

My situation is that I purchased the rear sway bar a year ago and its been sitting in my room ever since. I now have access to a shop where I can get a lift so I'm planning to throw it on this weekend but, all I have now is the strut bar itself. Did it come with other bolts/instructions? If so, where could I get those?

Thanks

unless you purchased endlinks to go with it, the rear sway bar (rsb) install is a simple replacing of the stock sway bar. if anything you don't even need a lift (let alone spend funds to have an installer charge you labor), good old floor jack and jackstands should get you enough clearance for installation. since both parts are virtually identical (sans obvious characteristics like thickness and weight) if/when you actually get underneath the car, you can see how the new one should fit. the only other thing i would envision causing a problem is your stock bushings not being thick enough for the racingline rsb.

i'm confused, are you talking about the front strut bar or the rear sway bar? you mention both in your post. if you're talking about the rear sway bar, then you don't need any other bolts/nuts with it. you reuse the same bolts, you just replace the bar. if you're talking about the front strut bar/brace, then you do need extra bolts which would have been supplied with the bar.
