I just bought this whole godspeed suspension set (see below) and it came with 2 brackets which I used for the front sway bar, and now I'm putting the back on and they only give you 2 brackets so I figured I'm just supposed to re-use the brackets on the rear but the godspeed bushings don't fit into the stock rear brackets, not even close, wtf am I doing something wrong? Or do you just not use any brackets? :-/

Yea I got fucked too, I had to call Godspeed themself and order the brackets and bushings. IIRC they were like 60 bucks for the front and rear.

Needless to say, I will never order anything off ebay again(unless name brand), nor will I order any godspeed junk every again.

Yeah mine came with front bushings with the rear sway bar... I used the stock ones but I drilled out the bushing to the same size. Wasn't perfect but it gets the job done. I ran some good tape around where it rides and greased it up too.

Woooooow, I cant even get my megan exhaust back on anyways because the rear bar is so big, so fuck this rear one altogether I guess!

They only show 2 brackets in the ebay picture so I figured im just not doing something right.. But Apparently I am missing the rear brackets? WTF?

You're crying about some cheap brackets.

Buy cheap stuff, get cheap results.

Used a knife the shave away like 2mm of the bushings and used the stock brackets, and had to grind away a bit of the rear bar in order to stop the driveshaft from rubbing, which I wouldve had to do with any upgraded bar that big. So I had to do a little fabbing and still saved a lot of money for the same result.I'm happy with that, was just mad that the ebay sale left me a bit clueless on what im supposed to do on the rear.

I couldve bought an expensive bar and have to fuck it up a bit to get a nice fit, but I bought a cheap one that works just as good and I could care less if I screw it up.. I dont buy cheap equipment or moving parts, but stuff like this might as well.
