    Going to tell you a story. (Don't judge me i was 19 dumb and broke)

    I got a 1LE front sway for my 95 TA. And during install i lost 2 bolts for the sway bar bushing clam shell. So i went to a hardware store and picked up some cheap 10 cent bolts. And put them on.

    About 3 months later. I was pushing my car around out on some back roads. And i was in a left hand curve doing about 50mph. And the bolts broke. The release of the torsion on the sway. Jerked my car like a mothafo. It felt like i got side swiped on my front end. I lost control. And the car went into a spin. I spun 1 1/2 times. Hit the road edge went airborne flying over the ditch. And did 2 more rotations in a field.

    I got out of my car. lit a cigarette then threw up next to my car. Im not going to lie. Time slowed down during it. And felt like it took 5 minutes to come to a stop. And thought in my head "FUCK IM DEAD"

    Holy crap this stuff is awesome! Anyone thinking what I'm thinking? Permanently clean engine bay, anyone? For anyone with a white car, never have to wash your car again for a long ass time?
