    OK so here are some pictures of the fun!

    First remove under tray then locate the radiator.

    Drill out spot weld, grind off spot weld, and hit the bare metal with some touch up paint.

    Install new AWR Sway Bar Mount Bracket

    New AWR brace is stout!

    Replace Radiator Bracket.


    One side is now done!

    Here is a good shoot of the aftermath of the spot weld cutter. I predrilled a center spot to make it easier on myself


    Now the side that needs a bit more finesse....

    Same as the other side but on cars with power steering you have to get the power steering lines to clear the bracket. I went through the bracket with the PS lines.

    First thing I did was to pull the air deflector out and disconnected the brackets that hold the line in the nose of the car so I could feed the AWR bracket through the line.

    Then just keep feeding it towards its final location.

    Once you get it close I had to tweak the lines on the resivoir to get it in place.

    AWR Bracket in place with the radiator bracket installed!

    Then put all you bits back and take it for a test drive!

    The side with the power steering lines took me longer than I had figured lots of tweaking and fiddling to get everything lined up to my satisfaction.

    If you were as slow as me, you wouldn't be afraid either.

    My car exceeds my driving ability. That's the only possible explanation.
