For Those Who Have Installed Stillen Sway Bars
 

I just got mine in yesterday and plan on installing them on Friday. I noticed they didn't come with bushings or grease or anything and the instructions said to use the stock bushings. That's no problem, but I was curious to know if I needed to pick up some grease for this project.

Thanks!

I did re-grease the stock bushings when I installed mine.

Thank you!!

grease them up

Any aftermarket bushings that it the stillen bar (like whiteline's)? I would like stiffer setup

I don't think the bushings are going to have much effect on your setup. Assuming you have the Stillen's on the stiffest setting (closest holes to the bar), you'll just have get some stiffer bars.

Hmm I've never had to put an aftermarket sway bar on by re-using the stock bushing. The ones I've bought in the past have always came with urathane bushings.

I have seen bushings provided as well. Since the bar just twists inside the bushings, I wasn't to worried about re-using the stock ones. They were nearly brand new. I have run the Stillen bars for about 10,000 miles with no problems at all.

What setting do you have yours on?

I have had mine a while. I believe Stillen may have changed the number of adjustment holes available, so it'll depend on when yours were made.

Stiffer settings in the rear will reduce understeer and move the car toward a neutral balance. I'd start with the softest setting on the front and one hole stiffer in the back. You can tune from there. (Depending on whether you want to go off frontwards or backwards when you screw up.) Having the bar too stiff in the rear with street tires can cause "snap" oversteer - very bad.

I have upgraded bushings in my set, originals were like silly putty by comparison, and I agree that the stiffest rear setting is too stiff and will cause snap oversteer if your camber is anywhere near stock.. soften it up and let the car sit onto the tire properly for max grip.

The rear bar has two holes...so go for the soft setting in back and middle hole in front? I was thinking of doing stiff in back and middle in front and seeing how that feels. My car is stock camber though.

Yea- that's a good starting place.
