Just to clairify things....

We made about 100 of these 3 or so years ago and we are trying to make some room in the warehouse so we are just unloading them at cost. We have about 10 sets left as the OP stated and 1 more set of the front rear combo.

rear bar is 21mm and front is 26mm.

everyone that has purchased them so far has been happy.

I just received the rear sway bar & sub-frame brace kit. I'm pretty mechanically inclined. But there were no instructions provided with the kit. I've been around an engine plenty of times, but never touched suspension components... Are there any gotchas I need to be aware of?

I installed this today.

Well - here are some pics...











In addition to this kit, I also installed a stock GSR front strut bar. Other than these changes, the car is still rocking the stock '98 LS suspension. (Hey, give me a break - I've had the car for a year, and originally didn't think I'd be keeping it.)

The early results are in! And it is a landslide victory for the new additions. I can now actually accelerate through turns with little-to-no-understeer. It is night and day. I was amazed at how the car held. Prior, at points in a turn where I used to have to have to lift the throttle due to plowing... I can now turn in sharper, hold the throttle and accelerate out of the turn.

I'm sorry, but I just have to say this again.

The difference this install has made to my car's handling are nothing short of AMAZING. The ability I now have to just power through a turn is incredible. The car refuses to break loose in the front or the back. It actually wants the throttle and says MORE is better. The only worry I have now is burning through tires.

This is best low budget upgrade for somebody who love's the twisties. BTW - don't forget I also installed a stock GSR front strut bar at the same time which my LS did not previously have (I put that out there for those in the same boat).

HAI - My name is Rob, and I drive local canyon roads for fun on the weekends. The rest of the time, my car is a 98% stock DD beater. And I love it. I never believed in a FWD sports car - until now...
