Yeah, the car needs to be cleaned. =)
My Initial thoughts ~ steering is noticeably tighter from side to side. Not overly tight, but a little more stiff. The car loves to dive in to a corner. I have a front and rear strut bar on and body roll is now even less. I regret my choice of tires (Nexen 3000) as they have a much softer sidewall which I do like more for launching and racing but not for "twisty" drive, etc ~ if you have airtools this is a 15min installation per side. I do not, lol. Taking the stockers off sucked. Trying to get grips on the back side of that lubed up stocker while trying to ratchet was tough. It is a ball joint on one side and the thread side/nut on the other. I used BP blaster in hopes that it would loosen the nuts up. I ended up having to cut 2 of the 4 bolts off. After getting those four bolts off it was pretty easy from there. ~ interesting side note. For 1 1/2 years now I have had a strange popping sound in my front right when going up driveways and general driving at times. Come to find out that my front right end link was loose and that was the popping. I've been blaming the Sprint springs this entire time To be fair, they just went on today and I plan on adding to this including some pics and vids of me going through my personal Auto X that we have here. One side installed sway bar end link installed.JPG The other side sway bar end link installed2.JPG sat the stock bar up against the new one. sway bar end link installed (next to stock bar).JPG *thanks goes to Dainslaif and SunBurst for helping with the install. If SunBurst had a decent set of vice grips it would have helped . They helped get the old bars off on day one. I had to go back to my place (carefully with no sway bar) and take the saw to the bastard bolts and then installed them myself. |

I have had mine on for a few weeks now, and still no strange noises. In the down time before the auto x, go on some main roads (preferably empty ones) and mess around w/ it a bit...if you see manholes, or markings in the road, try some quick evasive turns around them. At around 40-50 mph, you can really feel how much of a huge difference these things make.

For me it was the top nut that connects the end link to the car. Good luck.
