Okay so I want to install this bad boy now, but I know these bars tear up the stock brackets, so.... How do we get around having them torn up? I looked at SP and they didnt have any brackets, does anyone else sell them or do we just hope we dont tear up the stock brackets too much?
Thanks everyone!!
PS please check out my question about headers/y pipes/flex pipes in the 2.5 section. Thanks!!

The brackets can be reinforced by "boxing them in" with a couple of chunks of steel and a couple of spot-welds. GrandMasterKhan made a post not long ago with photos of boxed-in brackets, you might search for that. I think his was an Aussie sway bar, but it's the same diff.

John, it involves removing the rear subframe (easier than you think) so you can get to the brackets with a welder. They might be able to be welded on without removing it. But you'd have to be pretty skilled with welding in tight spaces.

Have you met Slade? Has he never b!tched, moaned, and complained about his Roush bar ever?!?!? Take one ride in his car and you will want NO part of that bar. Then again you never drive your car, so I guess it would be OK.
