Hi all,
I'm going to install some parts on my MCS today. I'll be installing an H-Sport rear sway bar and a Miltek exhaust system. Any helpful tips I could use? This is the first time I'm doing this sort of thing, so I'm a newbie in the area. As for tools, I've got a jack, jack stands, torque wrench, and a socket and spanner set. Is there anything else I would need?
Thanks,
Johnny

Have a grease gun nearby so that you can shoot some grease in the zerks on the H-Sport sway bar. Also, if you can get someone (or maybe you can rig something up) to help you hold the exhaust up, it will be much easier. But don't be worried or intimidated, these mods will just be unbolting and re-bolting. Just make sure it is solidly on the jack stands before you go crawling under it and also remember that it is on jack stands when you start unbolting the exhaust (don't yank too hard that you move the car around).
