Default Just got my gt sway bars

I just got my gt take off sway bars in the mail today. Any info in this is appreciated, whats a fair price for installation? Should I install both front and rear? In another thread people talked about gt take off sways were just mediocre. I think I found someone who does a fair price for installs, but i trust you guys more than any mechanic haha. Let me know guys/gals, thanks.

I forgot to say, i paid 90 bucks for front and rear and brackets. And I am going to install them as long as install isn't ridiculous. Hopefully I don't have to wait too long if the price is high.

this is not a big job at all!!!! you can do this in about 40 min

the front has 4 nuts, you take off then slip off the old sway bar put new one up , put the 4 nuts back on that is it

ps oh did the fronts come with gt brackets?

I think you've got a coupe so once you get the fronts done, the rears will only take you 20. If you had a convertible, you'd have to pull a wheel to slip the bar up over the chassis stiffening braces.

I've heard there is a difference, I hope I can really tell. I'm tired of taking turns slow.
