I got a Progress Rear Sway bar. I was planning on installing it using ramps instead of the jackstands because I only have access to ramps. I have one question about the install, will the brake lines have to be removed to install the bar?

 

You will need to remove a bolt that holds the parking brake line.

 

What he said /\ /\

 

Do I relocate the bolt or does it bolt up in the same place?

 

My understanding is that there should be a bolt extension included w/the sway bar kit. The bolt goes right back where it started after the bar is installed. Can someone else confirm this?

 

I didn't get any bolt extensions. Guess I need to figure something out for this. More input please.

 

If the kit doesn't supply a separate bolt, you should be able to use the same bolt you took off.

 

if you want, i can help you put it on...i'm in jackson heights and i got a pair of ramps......let me know...

 

If you have a torque wrench, I also need to install a strut bar. I will let you know once I pick up the bar. Thanks.

 

if i can find my 14mm, then yeah, i can do that too. if not, then just bring a 14 and we're good to go mang.

 

MacAlert and PoLo, this is too funny:

I'm going to PoLo's some day so he can help me with my Hella horns install.
MacAlert is going there for RSB and FSTB install (FSTB he's buying from me)
I also have a Stillen RSB I need help installing.
And I know PoLo wants to rewire his Hella's.

So, the three of us should coordinate and just all meet up together and knock it all out in one quick afternoon.

BTW PoLo, like I said, I refuse to show up empty handed. I found something which you may find very useful (If you don't have one already). I'll bring it whenever we decide to meet up

EDIT: I have a 14mm if PoLo doesn't find his and MacAlert doesn't have one.

 

Sounds good, I also have a 14mm. We could make a little mini meet out of this.

 

so how's about tomorow around noonish...who's place...i have a yard, i can fit 1 car on ramps and 1 on the driveway.....or does someone have a bigger place....

 

noonish works for me.... my driveway is a little too narrow to work in. Unless Mac has something better we could use, I think your yard might be best.

Mac, check your voicemail

 

Damn i want to get in on this. I have nothing to install yet. Things are on the way.

 

sorry, only 2 .orgers at a time can stare at my car...

my yard is perfect...mac, hit me or rich up on aim...MGalvis01

 

I have the Progress RSB on my car and the installation was fairly simple. In regards to the brake lines. You will have to remove the ABS braket and once you install the RSB brackets, you pretty much will be limited to re-attaching the brake lines by zip ties. This is the way I installed mine over the summer from directions I found on the .org. Sadly, Progress does not include a ABS relocation bracket, so you'll have to improvise. Good luck. Took me about 30 minutes overall.

 

bumping this old thread for assistance, im finally going to be getting around to installing my RSB, BUT i cant seem to find directions...and the directions in the FAQ's link to different threads about someones wheels

any one care to chime in?

 

my favorite thing on the org? bumped threads

it isnt that hard to figure out

 

It would help to know whether it's a Progress or Stillen RSB.

 

here is a how to link its for an addco rsb but it should be the same

addco = progress

 

oh its a progress....sorry about that, its in my sig, and while i was typing the initial post, i meaninglessly left that bit of info out

 

kool, good lookin
