I am mechanically challenged.......

Jason? Chad? Dave? Lift preferred since my car is pretty low as is......

Oh, and how long would it take? New house, new wife, new life....so don't really have too much time on my hands!!

It's really easy. Only need jack stands but that'll take longer

hey you know I'll help you.. just been busy with work so haven't had too much time to check this site!!

I should have all the tools to do the poor man install with jack stand and stuff. But I don't think I can do it until next weekend though.

The key to an easy install is to have enough clearance to wiggle the rear sways out.

When is this happening, I'd like to install sways as well! I'll provide some liquor too, but only *after* my sways are installed.

I work for 12 packs....



















... of Mobil 1 full synth

I guess we can do another tech day with the focus on Moodie's sways. Since I don't have a lift & my garage isn't that big + I don't have air tools, I'm guess we'll probably only be able to do 1 car. But maybe this will give you guys an idea of what it takes to diy sways. & of course, I don't warrenty any of my work in addition, if something fall apart, I'm not responsible for it

you guys can come to my house if you want. although i know most of you guys are in the south and east bay. but you guys are more than welcome if you guys are willing to drive my way.

there's space in the garage for sway install(s). and space for 3 cars in the driveway for washing.
just bring your own car wash stuff (bucket, sponge, chamois, wax,etc.)


anytime but this weekend is fine.
