Just finished installing my tubular rear control arms isolators and springs. Man that was a lot of work but I feel proud that I installed my own parts. But I encounter some issues my sway bar didn't want to fit and to what I know I put on everything right but I guess it's cause there tubular or I need aftermarket sway bar. But any how I got it to fit with my good friend the hammer so will see what happens tomorrow, can't wait to drive it.

the rear sway bars are on the wrong side. or the car might need to be on the ground for it to fit nicely. no hammer should be needed. plus if u have to force the sway bar your car well be under a slight load not in your favor as u drive. but congrats for doin your own work and getting it done!
