I have the full YAYA kit from Kspec, and Eibach sway bars. The rear bushings are somewhat easy to do. All you need is some grease, a vice a hammer and some time. Cause its not a quick job. The front, you'll probably need a press to remove the old and replace with the new. Also, remember this: the yaya sway bar bushings are for the stock sway bars... any aftermarket sway bars like the Eibach, or Whiteline are going to be larger diameter, so the yaya's won't work. At least the Eibach sway bars come with sway bar bushings, though, after comaring the eibach and yaya, the eibach bushins are softer.

eidt: this is my 69th post, w00t.

Did you try boring out the yaya sway bar mounts to the correct size? On the front ones did you use a press or were you able to do them without?

Well, I just used the Eibach supplied sway bar bushings. They are still better than stock. The Yaya bushings ar esweet, but they're too tough to bore out with any sort of file, I did think about it. As far as the front suspension bushings. I ended up giving up on them. I couldn't get them out. Maybe if I get access to a shop sometime soon, I'll do it, but the rears are the biggest improvement. There are almost 20 bushings in the rear to be replaced, while the front has 6. The Yaya kit is worth it, but probably the most PITA thing I've done to the car.

GL installing the front bar of the anti roll kit. You really need to take the tranny out to do it.

It is all going straight to my buddy who is a mechanic. All the work I am having done is being done at the same time.
1. Suspension
2. Turbo
3. Exhaust
4. Clutch

I am even going to do the exterior mods around the same time.
1. Hood
2. Front Fenders (If they are ready)
3. VDK (If it is ready)

I have major plans... ninja.gif
