Re: (Homan)
Your setup did not come with directions?
You have to drill a hole in your control arms to mount the brackets to
It has been so long since I have done it that I do not remember the exact location of the hole.

wrong, EX trailing arms have holes already as well as LX and DX traling arms i took pics but they suck due to bad lighting in my driveway. But i didnt drill any hole at all. run the sway bar like you would think it goes and then bolt the 2 middle brackets up and youll see a whole right in its radius from were it swing. Bolt it up on thos holes and you should be golden. Make sure you torque it down to specs that i dont with me.

If you want to install the bar properly you should drill the hole but it's ok to just bolt it onto the stock sway bar hole if your trailing arm has on. This is because the intended hole is like only an inch away from the stock sway bar hole so it doesn't put the endlinks into that extreme of an angle.
Basically go check if you have a hole in the trailing arm just bolt it there, if not, just drill the hole in the proper location. If you have to drill a hole, give ST a call their tech ppl are pretty cool.

i got the bar from a friend so didn't come with instructions, my accord is an ex, comes with a stock sway bar but this one is much bigger/stronger.
I would prefer not to drill any holes if possible..

Re: (Homan)
If your is an EX, the rear trailing arms should have a hole drilled already from the manufacturer. Just keep you eyes open for a small hole when searching the trailing arm. Some LX's came with the hole too, as did mine 
. One of the lucky ones 
Good luck

Re: (Homan)
yikes, that last pic looks dangerous. i dunno if i would just the OEM car jack to jack the car up on BOTH sides. it would be safer to use jack stands. just my thought. be safe though.

Re: (fluxion)
well this guy doesn't have anything under the car to prevent getting sqashed.
i bought a floor jack and two jack stands from autozone for like $30 for the whole thing. might not be the best, its a lot better then the stock jack.

Re: (Accord_Munch)
Wassup guys... I had clearance issues with my rear ST sway bar and my custom catback exhaust. But what i did was that i flipped the bar and endlinks. So instead of having the endlinks pointing down, it points up and the sway bar goes over the control arm rather than under it. Looks like everything seems to work correctly. And i asked a couple friends and they said it will work. But i wanted to ask you guys if there was wondering if there could be anything wrong by having the bar setup like this for confirmation. I mean its basically the same, but instead of being under the control arm, its over. And now i have no clearance issues. Here's a pic that i took from the rear suspension. Tell me what you think guys.
