Swaybar swap
 

Looking to put original swaybar back on my car. The oversized
Unit I put on it seems too stiff. Is it possible with dropping A-arms??
Thanks

Yes, very easy. Is your current bar a 1"? Rubber bushings with rubber end links would help tame the stiffness. You likely know that a factory bar with urethane end links & bushings might be all you need.

It's a fairly straight forward process. The bar is attached to the lower control arm view bushings and an end-link and attached to the frame by two rubber grommets, which you'll also need to change.

If you run fairly standard near stock type tires, adding a big stiff bar can in some situations work against you. If you add wheel rate, you need enough grip to handle it.

When you state that it seems to stiff however, are you talking about stiffness through corners or do you have a ride quality issue? If the issue is ride quality, the sway bar is likely not the root cause here. Unless it's installed improperly or there's something else going on with the chassis/suspension, the sway bar should not be adding any increase in wheel rate to the suspension until it's acted upon in a corner. It's one of the main purposes to the sway bar, to add effective wheel rate without adding stiffness to the spring and shock package.
