Oh no....

Thanks Steve. I had a feeling I was just being slung an insult with the comment..LOL.. I will intall it right away and proceed to the trees...:rolleyes2: On a serious note I am interested in feeling the effects. Does it hurt to just install the rear but not the front? I dont have a front sway bar...

The rear bar is intended to compliment a front bar on a rear wheel drive car. So you would NOT want to install a rear bar without a front bar. You ALWAYS want the front of the car to have the majority of the roll stiffness. With a rear bar only, the car would oversteer excessively and seriously unload the inside rear tire when cornering.

If you want to "feel the effects" get a front bar and try it. You can always add the rear bar and then take it back off if you prefer. I use a front bar only on my '74 street car.

Handy pics in this thread - may have to try & fit one of my spare rear Volvo bars to the front of the X.. :grin:

You mean these? http://www.fiatplus.com/front-sway-bar-mounting-kit-pr-295051.html
It's what I use to mount the front bars.

I'm really glad I stumbled onto this thread! I was looking over the front bar installation instructions last night and couldn't believe they had me clamping the forward section to the track bars! Crazy! Thanks for making these pieces available, Chris.

I reccommend this. I bought an X with both and I quickly removed the rear after MANY attempts at adjusting the suspension to keep from spinning to no avail. Might be my style of driving but I prefer a front only setup as well.
