Was posted earlier. These people seem like they have never modded their car before. I know the first thing I do when I get back home is to get some sleep (14 hour drive) then wake up and install this.

What spacers? Last time I did my coils I didn't really see anything bad. I guess I'll check into it when I get mine. I just wanna open the box. Find a DIY?

ya its easy to do, but I dont know what spacers to use on which bolt. I would rather do it right the first time.
Its easy to go under your car and loosen some 14mm bolts, hell I do more work than that at my job. Just a matter of lining it up correctly.

You use the spacers to make sure the bolts go through the mounting points straight (by making the links line up straight rather than at an angle). Once you start it should be self explanatory. Rear sway is easy on this car.

Spacer b/w other side of spherical and washer: 3/16 inch
Upper bolt: 2 ¾ inches
Lower bolt: 2 ¼ inches
4 washers per bar side, 2 nylon lock nuts per side. 14 mm nuts and bolts.

Installed. Test driven. Significant improvement over the TRD bar. Not to discourage anyone but please make sure you have a good sense of feel with/through your car. The driving is much more point and shoot, and could take a few by surprise.
