Default Anyone install the front swaybar on an xB??

I bought the Hotchis f/r swaybar kit.
Has anyone done a DIY install on the front swaybar?
I saw nothing in tech/faqs, any advice will be helpfull.
I'll take plenty of pics and do a "How to".

I highly recomend having a shop install the swaybar for you, there are a lot of problems that can occur when installing it in the driveway.

A lift, supports, and air tools will aid greatly. About a 1.5 hour job where the subframe needs to be lowered slightly. Most take about 2 hours. Watch out for all of the power steering, oil, electrical, and all of the other lines under there.

I learned the first time installing a set on my Matrix, and used that experience when I installed them on the Scion. In the end, I should have just waited for the Progress bar and not have had to even worry about replacing the front bar.

Plus, by only going w/ the rear Progress bar, you could also save yourself another $150 that you wouldn't be spending to install the front bar. The Progress bar can be installed in your own driveway, its DIY.
