I've purchased nearly everything from Tom @ yoparts, and the swaybars were ordered from him as well.

I pieced the suspension together separately and installed it myself. Cutting the struts wasn't nearly as hard as I thought it would be.

hmmm i don't know about your's.

but when i checked on mine, the ball-bearing was loose, and you can make sounds with it, not exactly what i want in a very important suspension component

it would also click when i accelerate from a stop

i've heard of T1R stuff snapping... aka bumpsteer kits for S2Ks
