Got mine today, Thanks Tom!
I'll be installing them this weekend along with the 15 minute mod. I'll post up some pictures.

Just installed both mods. I didn't take a single picture though
I need a new 3/8" drill bit. I killed 3 of them. Either all of my drill bits suck or those endlinks are made from kryptonite. Other than cursing out the drill bits, the installation went great! Thanks OT. Can't wait to try it out.

Rear Stabilizer Bushing Upgrade NEW PHOTOS
.
. Since OT does not have his new locker yet, I am reposting his instructions, along with some photos we took, to help explain the installation in more detail. Before we begin, here is the parts diagram of the component parts that are involved in this upgrade: The rear stabilizer bushing upgrade kit includes: ....Two self-lubricating bronze bushings (inserts) ....Two rubber sleeves (bushings). ....Two grade-5 allen head 3/8" X 2" bolts with two self-locking nuts The new bronze bushing inserts are much thicker and stronger and the rubber bushings are denser and firmer than stock. The new bolts are a lot stronger as well. See the bushing and bolt comparison photos below: INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: ...■ Using proper safety procedures, lift the rear of your SVX and install jack stands or use a lift. ...■ Using two 12mm box-end wrenches, remove the bolts and nuts that attach the ends of the rear anti-sway bar to the anti-sway bar links. .....See first photo below (left side, rear shown): ...■ After removing the bolts, separate the anti-swaybar links from the anti-swaybar. Pivot the anti-sway bar down and out of the way. ...■ Grab the links, one at a time with a pair of Vise Grips, and with an electric or air drill, enlarge the existing holes in the links to 3/8". Start drilling through the existing bolt hole in one side of the link and continue drilling until you drill through the hole in the other side. ...■ Pry the old black rubber bushings out of the ends of the anti-sway bar. A 1/4" thick Phillips screwdriver works very well for this part. ...■ Lubricate the new rubber bushings with water and push them into place into the holes in the ends of the anti-swaybar. ...■ It seems to work best if you install the rubber bushing first, and then push the bronze bushing insert into the rubber bushing. .....See photo below: ...■ Swing the anti-sway bar back into place, with the ends back inside the links. Align the holes and push the allen head bolts through the links from the inside, with the self-locking nuts towards the outside of the car. ...■ The allen head bolts use a 5/16" allen wrench, (an 8mm allen wrench would work in a pinch) ...■ The new nuts use a 9/16" box-end wrench, (a 14mm box-end would work in a pinch) ...■ Tighten or torque the bolts and nuts to 35 ft./lbs First and last photos below show driver's side installation. Middle photo is the passenger's side. .

Thanks Tom! I sent $21 through paypal today. I think the extra $1 should cover the 3.9% fee you incur.

So OT, would I need the 15/15 and 20/20 mod to make a difference? If so would I be able to get it done when I come around on the 27th for the Autox? Thanks

Great mods! Seat of the pants I could tell a difference in body roll around my favorite corners going to and from work today. It's amazing something that small would make that much of a difference. Well worth the money and time, Thanks OT!
