Looks nice, but what is that "L" Bracket made of. It looks like it could be a weak point in hard cornering. All and all, looks great.

sorry to dig up the dead, but looking at the pics. i think an apex ws piping can clear that sway bar. remember how the apex ws piping hangs lower at the rear section? i think this actually will correct the problem with the st sway bar. i look at my apex ws and think there's plenty of room to clear the sway bar. i'll check tomorrow or something.

Somewhat off topic.. how do u jack up an accord to put the jack stands under it. If i put the jack on the jack point then I have no place for the stand. I tried puting a 2x4 between the jack and frame but the frame of the car got a small impression. I'm not doing that again.

probably, my stock exhuast used to rub on the sway bar a bit, but it wasnt much so i never worried about it, when i installed my apexi ws, it clears it fine with about an inch of room to spare.

for the front, jack it up and the center support. For the rear, jack it up at the center support:thumbup:

jack up the car at the tow hooks or on the frame/chassis

it's cool. i did it too. and yes, i had to hammer my EVO to get the bar to fit over it. yes, it does make an astounding difference, and YES!!! i highly recommend it to any 5th gen owner. and i have crappy skunk2 coils on koni yellows. install is easy, but air tools are a nice-ity, and make it go much faster. all the holes are there, you can even keep your reat lower arm tie bar because it mounts to the subframe. you can get a bar for around $120, but i recommend getting both ends. it makes it so much better, otherwise, the back end tends to rotate if you push it too hard into a corner. i can post pics if y'all like...
