asr brace install

[ekfour97]

so ive read most of the DIYs , but i still have a few questions b4 i start the job of installing the asr brace myself . firstly do i grease up the bushing where the swaybar sits in. also i got no nuts with ek9 endlinks , so do i use the nuts i have off my ek4 endlinks . do i use thread lock on anything lastly , si model is same as ek4 which means i dont need to use backing plate , correct ? cheers

Grease = yes,dont over grease them because dirt will attach to much to them.
Any nuts will do,use 'lock nuts',wont come off then.
Dont need thread locker,just re torque them after a few days.
Backing plate = unsure

Shit man, goto a place that specialises in nuts and bolts as the nuts are hard to find for the endlinks. Bunnings and supercheap dont stock the right ones etc...
