well, the jury is almost in about the front anti-sway bar. DONT BUY ONE!! I'm probably going to have to remove mine and try to get my money back for this simple reason. The L-bracket that fits on the lower control arm is supposed to be held on with the nut that also holds the lower part of the shock absorber. Twice now the nut has fallen off, which created a risk of having the lower end of the shock fall off, rendering it useless. However, both times I caught it before this happened. In fact, the second time I put Locktite Red on the nut to secure it. However, this made the nut stay on but the bracket kept hitting part of the torsion tube. Now the bolt is bent and looks like it might just shear off. Which will be GREAT since I may have to replace the entire lower control arms just because of this. In hindsight...I think if I had installed the anti-sway bar but NOT LOWERED my Squareback, it would have worked. OR maybe I should have (and will...) grind down the bit of bracket that is hitting the torsion tube. Just beware before dropping the dough.
