Installed Steeda Front/Rear Sways + Bushing Supports

[DarkSubRosa]

Well I'll do some updating.

Up in the air

Made easy by these Steeda Jacking Rails

So here is the mess that you have to snake this bar out from

Steeda bar vs stock bar in the front

Billet Mounts

I don't have a stubby enough hex... I'll just put the stock bolt in

annnnnd it's ugly

ugh.. that's better but fuh, I had to order a stubby hex key kit from Amazon

Rear bar has much more room to maneuver

Stock rear vs Steeda rear

Mounted.... dat billet

Holy shit these inserts are easy...

except... this bastard

Get ready to cuss doing the front one.

front wasnt too difficult, to put the new sway in I had to jack the car up another couple inches to get enough clearance to snake it in

Getting the stock one out was where I got annoyed with the AC line hanging up on the OEM mount and just in general the OEM mounts and snaking it all out on the ground with only jack stands. Getting the Steeda bar in was like butter.

Driving impressions? And which of the adjustable settings are you on?

Front has 4 options, I'm one down from the stiffest. On the rear I'm on the middle of the 3 options. I still have some other mods to do while I have the car up in the air so I don't have any driving impressions to share yet. Plus with winter creeping in unless I get a 60+ degree weather day I probably won't take the car out of the garage to be able to tell. I'm on Hankook RS3's and they are not remotely cold weather friendly.

Sweet! I got springs, bushings, braces and swaybars on the way... I hope I can deal with that front sway easily. The rear looks easy peasy!

Can you post torque specs?

 

[DarkSubRosa]

Torque specs are on the instructions supplied by Steeda, the subframe rear bolts are like 129 ft lbs and I think the front sway bar is like 67 or something and the rear is in the 38 range I think. But all the specs you need are supplied on the instructions

Very nice write up! I will be installing these soon!

 

[Zemedici]

Nice! These are next on the girls car too I think. Maybe mine too :cheers:

Great install!

I love my Steeda bars and billet mounts. Wait till you get to drive it. It is very flat in the turns and the bling looks great, too.

What settings are you on? Any sacrifice in ride quality?
