Full sway bar replacement...suggestions?

I'm looking at doing a full sway bar replacement in the next week, and I'd really love to do it all myself. What are the suggestions for a total package that people have had luck with? (front and rear bars and endlinks) Anything that should be avoided specifically? Are there any good tutorials online to follow?

Thanks again for the help. I'm learning...=)

i have a Cusco rear (adjustable) and front sway bars, and i'm running them with Perrin (rear) and Noltec (front) end links. i've been very pleased with the setup.

the installation is easy, once you've got the car up in the air it should take maybe two hours or so for both sway bars. check out http://www.scoobymods.com for instructions on installing the bars.

other than that, make sure to either grease or teflon tape the rubber swaybar bushings so that they don't squeek.

Thanks for the reply. I'm leaning toward the Cusco stuff, but was pretty up in the air on the end links. Where should I go to pick this stuff up? I've seen tons of different sites, and I'd love to find everything in one place.

Of course...price is king...=)

you're quite welcome.

i ordered mine piecemeal, since i couldn't find all the parts in one shop. i got the sways from http://www.gruppe-s.com and the links i bought locally. good luck finding them all in one place. if you went with Perrin sways, you could probably get both bars and the rear end links all from one place. oh yeah, and Gruppe-S is about the cheapest place for Cusco parts.

Excellent. I appreciate the help.

It's strange...in looking around for a bit online here, I haven't even seen the front end-links for sale anywhere...any thoughts? Southern NH isn't the most conductive place for tuner shops. =)
