SE Sway Bars on an NB8A..

The (red coloured) SE anti-sway bars (that I bought from Davex3) are now fitted to my 10AE. The changeover, tho' straightforward for a capable mechanic, took an hour to complete, as the front mounting points are difficult to access.
For the record there is a 2mm difference in thickness between the SE bars (Front: 23mm. Rear:14mm.) and the 10AE (NB8A) bars. (Front:21mm. Rear:12mm).
The Endlinks appear to be identical.
This was a very worthwile 'swap-over' as the car, even at low speed but running on 14" tyres, now feels noticeably more secure.
Thank you 93 C'man for suggesting this improvement to me!

No problem SP - good to hear you're pleased with the result.

Sounds like a nice upgrade, I love my big racingbeat sways but need more time messing about at the track to see if the rear bar is too fat or not.
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.
