any special tricks when install a rear sway bar?
I'll be installing an Si rear swaybar on my buddies 99 EX this weekend and I was just wondering how difficult the install will be and if anybody has any tricks. How should I jack up the car to put this thing on? should I use those drive on ramps or the jack points and put it on jack stands. I'm guessing that if I take the tires off and use jack stands it maybe easier cuz there will be no weight/force on the control arms.
Do I have to centre or position this thing correctly or is it a straight install. I have an Si, and looking at my car it seems like a fairly straight forward install. I am mechanically incline and i have lots of tools, but I have never installed a rear swaybar before.......
any help would be good
Thanks.

Hey, my car is just lowered ~1.5" and I cannot squeeze under there and have enough room to work! And I am just 160lbs!
