    It works and it's only 4 bolts to install. Easy peasy. I have one on mine and it made a dramatic difference.

It also helped keep the rear wheels planted while going over bumps during turning maneuvers. This is a front wheel drive vehicle and though the power and steering is by the front wheels you must think of your rear as the stabilizer. You don't want them all over the place for road driving you want them as flat as possible. Tightening up the rear dramatically changed the Dynamics of the front of the vehicle.
    Pics please?

    Got mine and installed it last week. I agree with everything hitshane said; its that good. Easy to install, fits perfect, great improvement. You won't regret it, unless you prefer the ride of a mid 1970's impala...

    I like the way she soaks up the road bumps, just didn't like the see-saw effect going down the road or laying on my door going around corners. Sway bar helped it quite a bit.

    HitShane sold his Mirage years ago and rarely checks in. His last log in was August 21st.

    Was there something in particular you were interested in? Maybe someone else around here can help.

    His rear sway bar would look different because he had a Ultra swaybar installed. A few members bought them and put them on but there have been repeated problems with breakage.
