The relocation kit is to help clear coilover shocks and to have more adjustment for the endlink with two hole adjustable sway bars.

You’ll need to remove the wheels to remove and install the front sway bar. You will want to install the end links with the car on a four post lift or ramps so you don’t put any unnecessary preload on the sway bar.

Figure 1

1. With the factory sway bar removed, install the rearward bolt on the thin part of the adapter bracket. Install both brackets hand tight.

2. Install the poly bushings on the sway bar making sure to lubricate the inside of the bushing very well.

3. Feed the sway bar through the cradle.

4. Place the forward most bolt in next. This bolt goes all the way to the frame. Make sure to place the provided washer between the gold bracket and the relocation bracket. This keeps the bushing bracket from pinching the sway bar bushings and limiting rotation.

5. Install the reward bushing bracket bolt. This image shows the washer that goes on top of the bushing brackets.

6. Torque down the 6 frame mount bolts until securely snug.

Figure 7

7. After the bushings are snug, grab the end of the sway bar and rotate the bar up and down. There should be some resistance to the bar. You want to make sure it doesn’t freely move up and down with little resistance or is overly hard to rotate the bar.

8. You’ll you need to remove the lower sway bar bushing in the control arm next. (instructions for this coming soon)

9. Install the aluminum lower sway bar bushings and the end links on the lower control arms only then bolt on your front wheels

10. Set the car down on ramps so you can adjust and install the upper bolt on the end links. The rearward most hole will be the softest setting and the inward most hole the stiffest. You may have to use the soft setting to clear the tie rod ends. Double check that all your bolts are tight and set the car on the ground.

11. Finally, turn the wheels full lock in each direction and check your endlink to tie rod end clearance. You may need to adjust the gold sway bar brackets to give your self more clearance at full lock.
