I hope you used some washers as spacers to stop the stock brackets from squezzing the poly bushings too much and not allowing the sway bar to move freely.

Just had a buddy snap off one of the end-links (literally ripped the threads out) because the bar was not moving freely.

Car has a nice stance.

I plan to drill some holes and put zert fittings in the sway bar brackets when I re-install mine along some washers so that it moves freely and does not bind up.
