Just got my Tanabe Stabilizer antiroll rear sway bar from Mr. FedEx, bought it for about $100. Item was never used, only used for a test fit so the bushings are still new. Birthday presents fawken rock!!
Installation for this sway bar is pretty straight forward. I'll try to take some pics as I install it for those who have never done it.
For now here are some pics sent to me by the seller (haven't taken any myself)
Also... I finally got the center console I was looking for. Getting rid of the funky piece that runs to the rear center in the back. Nasty ish !!!
Got this one for $40 shipped. It's not in perfect shape, but well worth $40.
How come this site doesn't have a suspension section... ???

Do you you still happen to have the install instructions?? I know it's an easy install, but the seller didn't have them & I would just like to have everything with me. I got the bar, bushings, box, but no instructions.
Yo lex, center console is alil faded. Any tips on how to bring the color back?
the fading is obviously from sun damage. im sure that it is a layer of burnt plastic that can be removed. im unsure what liquids/chemicals can be used to relieve that.. i'd something like paint thinner or something on a unnoticeable area.
Thank you sir for the link. They use a producted called SEM. I have used this before when I painted my dash black. It works great for flexible vinyl, but it does chip off hard plastic, even after I prepped it correctly. I used different chemicals & it still chipped. I think I might have used the wrong Type of spray. Maybe I should have used a Nonflex spray. I'll have to call the place where I got everything and ask them.
Good luck getting the bottom nut off your old endlinks. They are locking nuts and are usually on there real tight - plus rusted. I, and several others, have pretty much wrecked the endlink getting the nut off (air tools help).

Ah thanks for the heads up. So you had problems getting the nut off... did anyone try squirting some Nutt juice on it?!?! hahha j/k.
Coo I'll make sure to be cautious. Do you know if there was a thread about this problem?? Not sure if WD-40 will help but I'll try it.
I already ordered some new locking nuts from Honda. Helm said they have to be replaced.
Thanks!

I know it sounds nutty and overly simplified but I painted a not quite black DIN compartment becauset i did not match the black of the lude interior... barely. Took it out, gave it a quick wetsand with some 250 grit, and hit that jerk with some cheap satin black spray paint. I think the key was wiping it down after the sanding with some 90% isopropyl. It has held up fine so far, but for you center console I'd say keep it in mind as a last resort. I'm sure that area sees much more friction and no one likes paint chips.
