Looks good. I must say not too shabby for an 18yo paint job…assuming that is the factory paint. ---

is that seriously how the rear sway bars mount in these models or is it just mad ghetto? what about the lower tie bar, is that a diy? do you have to have any sort of subframe reinforcement for a sway bar that size, looks to be 22mm or so. ---

it just looks the the brackets were home made for the sway bar. i just cant see an extension piece that far from the body of the car doing much good unless it’s also got mounts into the subframe. the tie bar looks like one of those ratchet things you get from the hardware store with holes on the end and a nut in the middle that you twist to pull it tighter. didn’t mean any offense by it, i just was curious. ---
