Re: Started Pulling out my Engine and Transmission today (56k I do not recommend)
I finally decided to do a little more to the 3g this labor day weekend since it needed a little TLC I went ahead and changed out my sway bar bushings in the front to Energy Suspension Polyurethane Bushings and started to install my justin made rear lower bars that I bought from frantik awhile back. Here's a few pics of what I got done so far. The last lower part that ties the rear arms together is giving me a little trouble in getting installed, as soon as I get that part in I'll take another pic

Thanks 2drSE-i
I just cut the bracket and used allen head bolts since there was no room to use a regular bolt. I found a thread that Oldblueaccord posted and did the exact same thing he did to get them installed Bracket Cuts

Thats next on my list of things to buy a nice big fat rear sway bar. Anyway I got the the other rear arm in and I'm going to get some undercoating and respray the areas where I grinded metal off to get the bar to fit in

Looking Great Mr. Pico :thumbup:

Thanks for the comments guys,
I took her out for a short drive and took some nice tight turns too see how she handles and man what a difference the front urethane bushings and the rear lower tie bars made, she drives like a totally different car, responsive and quick in the turns and very little body roll.
I going to upgrade the sway bars front and rear when I get the chance and $$$
