You will need one bar, two of everything else as well as a few nuts that I don't think are included. They go on the end of your bushing bolts.

There are other threads that include more specifics for this procedure. Best of luck!

How hard is the install on the sway bar?

It is a short easy job, once you have all the correct mounting hardware; maybe a half hour effort. It helps a lot, though, to have the car up on a lift.

I installed mine in 20 mins while being on the floor too! Like captam said it def. helps if its on a hoist but its not necessary. Also make sure you get the correct specs. to torque it accordinly.

Ray installed ours, on his back, without anything lifting the tires at all ... He said he definitely would have liked to have at least a set of ramps.... it still took him hardly anytime at all to do. The difference can be felt immediately ... the whole back end feels a lot tighter ...

I can't imagine that Lola would have held those country road curves so well without it ...:)

I think this sorta should have been a stock installation ... can't even imagine why it wasn't .... could it have possibly have been the very few $$ ??

Do you put the V sway bar out back? Are the front sway bars the same between both cars? It's looking more like I'll get a standard XLR and add the sway bar. Does anybody know if the base Corvette sway bars would work F & R?

Thanks, looks like we'll be doing some business down the road.
