Installed a Craigslist rear sway bar

[INSIDIOUS '86]

So I got a rear swaybar off Craigslist for $75 today. Loks to be a hellwig bar and Idk the size. I had no instructions but it was pretty straight forward to install untill I got to the frame brackets wich they are supposedly "bolt on" from what I can tell but the bar is still to narrow which makes the installation a pita for the end links. But I drilled some new holes got the brackets figured out and got her done in two hours.

Driving it I can tell immediately going around corners at even 15mph that it tracked flatter around. Going around larger faster corners the rear stayed planted and firm. Hardly any roll. Just for reference I have a one ton front sway bare with urethane center bushings and rubber outers.
Now I can say the front bar made the biggest difference but the rear help make the whole package complete and corner like a brick of styrofoam instead of a brick of lead.

I would have to say that for the price if this bar new...I wouldn't touch it but. For my craigslist deal it was worth the hours of cursing at it for not being quite as wide as it should I was happy with the end result
