    I'd say that's some pretty accurate info.

    Thanks 69shovlhed for helping me install the front sway bar, the new bar makes a world of difference.
    I have a 'MOTOR crash estimating guide' (from Nov of 2007) and I looked up the book time. The RR (remove and replace) time for the front stabilizer bar (sway bar) is 2.1 hours. So we didn't do too bad, working together I think it took us just over 2 hours to get it done.

    Everyone looking for better handling and staying flatter in turns should do this mod!

    your welcome. if I had a lift and a post jack we'd have beat the book by half.

    Toyota wasn't expecting people to drive these cars hard, so they used cheesy sway bars, soft shocks/springs and a quiet exhaust that chokes the motor. even stock I think this is the best commuter car ever, when I wear mine out I will get another.

    Got my Megan coilovers in. Do I need to adjust the preload at all on these?
