need help now!!!
There's only 4 attachment points for the sway bar. At the two pivot points just below/behind the radiator and on each lower arm. I assume that there are rubber bushings at the two "ARM" attachment points. The "stack" goes like this
a) bolt
b) large washer with concave side pointed downward
c) rubber bushing Make sure the lip is ointed downward
put assembly through the end of the sway bar
d) rubber bushing Make sure the lip is ointing upward
e) large washer with concave side facing upward
f) sleeve/standoff
g) Large washer with concave sie pointed downward
h) rubber bushing with lip pointed downward
put assembly through the lower suspension arm
i) rubber busshing with lip pointed upward
j) large washer with concave side upward
k) lockwasher
l) nut.

It's really easy. There's only 6 bolts.
First put the two "eyelet" ends on top of the two lower suspension arms before putting the bolt "stack" on. Just rest it there. Then (if you're by yourself) use a hydraulic jack or jack stand to support the middle of the sway bar up against the frame (just behind the radiator). I assume that you've already put the bushings and the metal "U" brackets on the new sway bar at the two pivot points.
Move the two U brackets and their respective bushings to line up with the bolt holes in the small triangular piece that goes between the frame and the lower radiator support. On the driver's side this is just below the point where the hard fuel line comes through the inner fender wall.
Put the bolts through and tighten it up.
After you have the two pivot U brackets bolted up then put in the bolts that attach each end of the sway bar to the lower suspension arm.
Not a big deal.
Some thing to keep in mind. Dependig on the size of the bar you put in the car may now "push" (understeer) under hard cornering. So you might want to put in a rear sway bar to balance it out (reduce the understeer).
I did the opposite. Put a rear sway bar on and the rear end would come out really easy. I had to put a bigger swaybar on the front to balance it out. It now corners really flat and even (doesn't over or understeer)
