Re: sway bar upgrades

My hitch actually just bolts through the rear sub-frame, it will end up being carriage bolts in the trunk floor, which of course will have a plate over the sheet metal.

I opted to do it this way b/c It'll spread the weight load over a larger area than just making a longer plate to bolt it up to the tow hooks... which are about 2 feet from the end of my bumper... that would be some serious leverage on those three little bolts if I put a util trailer on the hitch.

The sedan's "foot longer-ness" comes after the complete suspension, including the tow hook mounting points. They're in the same place from EF to EF, but on the sedan, they're further in than on other EF's, b/c of the trunk.
