Has anyone installed just the rear upgraded swaybar? It should help with understeer? Also minimize body roll to a degree?

Or is it pointless without upgrading the front as well?

Kind of hard to tell from photos but drivers side is a little bent.
Looks like someone used a vise grip to hold the joint and caught the boot at the same time!

You can, esp. If you go with a square tire setup. I run my hr bar on the front on the soft setting.

Hi guys. Apart from Ground Control end links, anyone using other brands of end links? How are they holding up? Any one using Hotchkis end links?
Did you guys upgrade the rear end links as well?
Thanks!
