Put them in the way the others came out, its not very hard. I think my pair had a problem with the spacers b/c I couldn't make the bushings for the rear sway bar bulge. I just bought a few washers and that fixed the problem.

they make a pretty nice difference, if youre used to driving with body roll.

the only suggestion i give for the install is to use the stock bolts that hold the D bracket (thats just what i call it, it bolts the swaybar onto the underbody, specifically on the FRONT one.) onto the car. its easier that way, and the stock bolts are in fact stronger than the ones they supply.

what every one said, and once you install it, it like a completely different car.

when i drift i feel little or no body roll at all.you should also grease the inside of the bushing with that white grease.

also buy extra nuts to put on top of the nuts they provide for extra safety/ back up.
