Thanks for your interest Blue_Forenza. The bars have been completed, but we are awaiting the urethane bushings for the mounts. They should be in any day, so I'll keep you posted. They'll definitely be up on our website when we get the new one up around mid-April.

For the rear bars will I have to put holes in my Reno or do the bars go under the car? I am asking becuase I don't want to mess up my trunk nor take away space. If it does then I may get the front bars unless they will bend the car when I turn and mess up the frame.

sway bars in no way touch the frame of the car...


the basic premise of a sway bar is that if one wheel moves up... the other wheel moves up. this means in a corner when the car wants to roll to the outside, the wheels stay planted because the body roll is absorbed into the bar instead of the spring on the outside.



this isn't exact... but it gives you an idea of the shape...



the ends connect to the lower control arms and rotate through the red holders there... you can see that if the left wheel were to move up (towards you) that the bar would flex and pull the right wheel up as well.


hope that helps you see what's going on

So in the long answer I would have to "rip" up my trunk for the rear sway bars, and it will be fine to just have the front sway bars.

no....



to paraphrase myself...






the sway bars touch nothing on the frame which causes you to loose space. they are totally un-intrusive. you will not loose any functionality of the trunk, just as you will not lose functionality of the engine bay

I understand what your saying. What I don't understand is where the rear sway bars will go. Will they go inside the trunk attach to the rear supension or under the car? That is what I don't understand.

You are thinking of strut tower bars which mount between the shock towers, these would take up space in your trunk. What is being sold here are sway bars which mount under the car. Two completely different things. You would never be able to tell that you had sway bars on the car unless you are looking from underneath. Do a quick google search.

Thanks for all of the explanations guys!

Yes, the sway bars mount underneath the vehicle to the "frame". They mount to the stock sway bar mount locations, making them truly bolt on pieces. They significantly reduce body roll to improve handling characteristics and will in no way affect the frame. I'm really just paraphrasing what everyone else said, but want to give my assurance that these are great parts that will not affect other areas of the vehicle.
