Tuesday, November 08, 2011 5:00 PM
Hey guys, just wanted to now whether or not I would be able too put a 2000 sunfire GT sway bar on 2002 sunfire SE?

I am looking for struts for my newly aquired Eibach pro-kit performance coils, If anybody has some?

yes, just get all the corresponding frame bushings that match the diameter of the bar.

sweet, It will be so nice. Is there a significant reduction in body roll? only drawback is a $100 wheel alignment...

Shouldn't have to do a realignment after installing a sway bar.

Well you do drop the sub frame, which will change caster, camber and toe, unless you manage to bolt it back up exactly the same.

which is highly unlikely, we will have to see once I take it off the GT. Haven't exactly installed a sway bar before so I might just buy and then install it when i have someone with me that has done it before.

I havent dont the front bar, havent had the need to upgrade from my stock 22mm one. The rear bar was child's play though.

you can remove the sway bar without removing all the frame bolts. I left the 2 in the top and rocked it down enough to get the bar in and out, no probs with alignment.

Have did my sway bar a few months ago upgraded to a addco front sway bar and I found it was easiest dropping the frame bolts all the way out and swinging the whole cradle piece down and it was quicker the only problem I had with mine was the steering wheel getting that straight cause its attached to the cradle and without the sway bar their the steering wheel wants to free rome .... But other than that it wasn't too bad took me about 1.5 hrs and took it to get it aligned.
