I was amazed and the difference in size of the rear sway bar. The stock bar was like 14 mm or so, and the replacement bar was 18 mm or something like that. The picture doesn't really capture it well, but it was a huge difference.
That being said, the stock bushings will not even remotely fit around the new bar. Make sure to get the bushings from the donor vehicle.
Back was a really quick install. Front took a little more time. To do the front we lowered the exhaust manifolds and the little skid plate thing that's back there. I also took this chance to replace my manifold gaskets.
The difference in the thickness of the front bar and the new bar was about 2 mm. This meant that I was able to reuse the bushings.
The red bars was a lot of fun, but they're not really that visible unless you're under the car (go figure).
I want to thank Mike-tracy for helping me go get bars, Josh for answering questions about manifold gaskets, and jamal for answering PMs about sway bars. You guys are great.
