Pics of my suspension and S/T rear sway install ... beware 56k
Ok I just finished installing my S/T rear sway bar and I snapped some pics of it as well as other parts to my suspension. I have a 1996 Accord LX and I did NOT need to drill holes contrarty to what some people have posted. The holes are already there for you. I took my car out for a spin and I must say the rear sway bar in conjunction with my front upper and lower strut bars makes a huge difference. I've noticed with the S/T rear sway bar, my car rolls less, feels more neutral during cornering, and I can feel my suspension (springs, shocks) doing more of the work. I'm very pleased with this product and I highly recommend it for anyone who wants improved handling and to reduce the natural understeer that Accords come with. The only problem I came across was that the sway bar would not clear my Greddy piping, so I had to crush bend it slightly 
(so much for the mandrel bending) and hang it a big lower. Here are the pics...
Rear sway + Greddy SP catback
Cusco front lower tie bar
Neuspeed front Upper strut tower bar
Here's the problem with S/T rear sways. I had to bend my piping to get it to fit.
Another pic of the clearance issue from the other side
Here's the hole i'm talking about. Look where the bolt is in the trailer arm. That hole is already there and no drilling needs to be done.

great install :thumbup:
sucks about the exhaust clearance though.. have any pics of the under carraige from the rear with the car on the ground? you think welding lower hangers would solve the problem or would the make the piping too low?
