Rear sway bar
you unbolt the inner LCA bolts, line the bar up, put the bolts back. Thats it. You do need to undo the LCAs, but thats no biggie. The hardest part is just lining up the holes so the bolt will go back in.
If I were you, I'd give it back and get the sway. It has a much more dramatic effect on handling than the tie bar.

Ahhhh! cool, do i need to do a rear alignment after putting it on then or is it not necesary?
Either way, i'm scheduled to get a 4 wheel alignment done at the end of the week so i should be safe
Since i was thinking of getting the swaybar along with a beaks kit to do the job right and don't have the $$$ to do that right now in one shot, i was thinking of keeping it and adding the swaybar later.
That's why i was asking what kind of effect i might notice after having put just the tiebar on for the time being
Payed 63$ canadian for it including shipping and all, that comes to ~46$ US :naughty:

Since i've been getting my parts there for a long time now, i don't think he intentionally tried to screw me over though.
What effect would a tiebar have on the car's handling and such?
Could i just attach it to one of the holes where the swaybar should be attached or am i right about having the dettach the lower control arms first?

Sway bars are for suspension - basically reduce the suspension movement during cornering.
Tie bars are for the chasis - they provide bracing & do not expect to reduce body roll.
Rear lower tie & rear sway should be used together, front/rear uppers wont hurt to add. Dont bother upgrading the front sway unless you reduce the size. Larger fronts will increase understeer which your try to get rid of with the rear sway.
You do not need an alignement after any tie-bar or sway bar if installed correclty. Pretty hard to mess up.
The bars really wont function much without a good suspension set-up & tires.

You don't need an alignment after a tie bar because all the suspension you move around goes back to its original location. A tie bar WILL make a noticable difference, but not a big one.
I know my front my front strut bar made a huge difference in the cornering, would the rear tie bar make a similar difference or would it be more subtle than that?
Thanks for the info though, it's very apreciated :thumbup:

you might notice it a little less than the front strut bar, but its almost the same effect. You'll feel it more in quick transitions-like a slalom.

next mod after this will be the swaybar with the beaks kit to complete the equasion :thumbup:
