Suspension Technique Sway Bars with pics - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #39911 20 posts Started by LewFX
SO yeah, after waiting 4 months? for these I finally got them. its still a bit of a shock...i also installed the end link on the inside hole, i think it makes it tighter of a feeling, remember to always lower the car down when installing end links so you dont bind them. i was very liberal with Lucas red n tacky #2 grease.

congrats it' was about time, whenever you install them don't forget to lubricate the bushings with the included lubricant or you're gonna have a funny sound everytime your bars rub the bushings.
good stuff lew! nopi shipping = FTL i spent 9 months waiting on rotors frown.gif
damn... that sux... 4 months??? i got mine within 1 week of ordering and i'm in canada... and i think the place i got it from is the same price as nopi too...

they better be worth the wait...i was almost tempted to sale these to snapshizzzo
i ordered some rotors from nopi with no response from them for two months, then they said they would be here in two weeks but then month and a half later they arrived..... Nopi really needs to work on customer service

congrats on the sways... they're worth the wait.. they def. make a noticible difference... just visually comparing the stock sways to S.T.'s is impressive they are huge in comparison..and the ride is quite stiffer smile.gif

THE STUFFS FOR SALE!
Its about time you got those! Alan is teh suxxor though. He stopped returning my E-mails and seemed to have a lunch break every time I called....

you want a pic of the box?!
ahhh got them in yestarday. took me about 5 hours. cornering is fun. bumps arent...abs light is on gotta check under if the sensor came off or what. front was more a pain than anything because of the stupid allen screws they give you, i used the old stock ones, much easier. i got the rear ones out and in easier. did anyone else connect their rear to the inner hole? another key thing is to lower your car before you connect the end links. i will never do this install again!! much to painful being on my back and hitting my head on everything.


same night i almost got in a huge accident, im going strait, some benz is making a left right in front of me, they brake and i go skidding 40 feet thanks to no abs and i some how manuevered around his benz and into back into my lane while skidding. if i wouldve hit him, my celi might have been totaled.

adjusted the links to the outter hole, feels like stock again...didnt fix the abs light prob yet.
new update, i need adjust the rear because the left side is too far over, and hits the abs wire, eventually it snapped, i have to connect the wires again.
turns out i put them in upside down, whoops, got everything fixed, wow wow wow, its sooo smooth on turns, simply amazing.
