  • Just got 1LE sway bars

    Just got my 1LE sway bars in the mail today and installed them this afternoon. Realy easy install. The car handles like a different vehicle. Can't wait to get it to the autocross this weekend!

    Dam, seems like a lot of peeps are ordering the 1LE sways. I think I'll order a pair myself.

    Do they come with grease for the bushings?? If not, then you just use any kind of grease as long as it's waterproof right??

      I hear you should sue silicone grese, something to do with breaking down the chemicals. I bought a can for like $2, same as any other grease.

          Silicone spray??? I will NEVER spray that on my bushings again!!! The reason why is that a couple of years ago, I tried to get rid of this creaking noise from my suspension that I hear everytime I get into and out of my car. So, I sprayed silicone all over the rear spring area and on the all the bushings too. Next day, the rear started sqeaking and it turned out to be the rear sway bushing. I also sprayed the front suspension and ever since the front makes a slight ticking-like sound when I turn the steering wheel all the way.

            We are now offering Bushings/end links with the 1LE bars as packages. They are available in Red, yellow, or black. You can get just the endlinks or the entire bushings package. Seperate or together. You save a little money going with the whole package.

              Just ordered the package deal. Like a kid on Xmaas eve, i'm giddy w/ anticipation. Will post my installation sucess story after I put 'em in this weekend. Or maybe I won't. I'm going to get lowering springs too. Should I do it all at one time? Would it be THAT much of a big deal to do it separately?

                F1GT, the 1LE bushings are rubber, so they don't need grease.
                Dewey, the front springs require a spring compressor, and removing the entire strut assembly, to change them.

                  No grease at all, eh? No kidding.

                  So changing the swaybars doesn't involve any spring/strut dealings? That is, I don't have to remove either/or when I change my swaybars?
