So among other things that will be coming about soon, I was curious as to how hard it is to install a rear sway bar on an RS. I haven't really come up with much on the forums and the write up on the wiki is cryptic at best.

Using that information I am assuming that I need the brackets to hold the rear swaybar to the unibody, the bushings for said brackets and some other things. I guess I'm going to start browsing the CAPS stuff to see if I can find a more definitive answer.

Its cheaper to actually buy the Suspension Techniques front/rear bars and they have an adapter (sold seperately) for adding the rear bar to cars not equipt from the factory with what you need.

I talked to mitsubishi graveyard and they said 50 bucks plus shipping for the rear control arms with the holes for a sway bar

Thanks for the help guys. I figured the brackets for the sway bars, endlinks and possibly control arms would solve my problems. I'll check out both of the items that you suggested.

i went the dealer route and it was pricier, but it works the way the car is engineered to work. The install took me maybe an hour and a half from start to finish. If you have any questions or anything like that, shoot me a pm.

I could have sworn we had a write up with pics on the old page, not I cant, for the life of me, find it anywhere! I want to get these parts for my RS of a GS (what other rear sway bars will fit?) but without that write (the pics) up im kinda lost, I guess Ill just buy anything that connects to any part related to the sway bar?

Well if I can find a parts car at a local junkyard, I'm going to start pulling parts off of it for the swap. Otherwise, I will dig through my service manual and get the related parts info there.
