  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    I am about to rebuild my front end and one of the things i am doing is upgrading to the 1.25 Firebird sway bar as descibed on BuickPerformance by George Nenadovich. I have the bar ( scored it for $25) and now would like to use new Poly swaybar bushing kits as George describes but when I search the part numbers referenced I am coming up empty. Anyone else have suggestions or alternate part#'s

    Energy Suspension makes various sizes. Any aftermarket auto parts store will be able to get them.

    I found it easier to install socket head cap screws (Allen bolts) in place of the original style hex head bolts due to clearance on the bracket to the frame holes alignment. It is tight in a socket on the hex heads.

    I would be interested in your initial reaction to the improvement when you are finished installing the larger sway bar, bushings and end links.
