on the lx the brake lines to where to mount the L bracket is in the way. there are either 3 options to choose from. cut the rear brake line bracket so you can move it up or down since the bracket is attached to 2 studs that are on the rear trailing arm therefore you can't move the lines unless you get SS lines or cut the bracket to compensate. #2 some say you can get ex/se trailing arms and it will bolt right on and no hard lines will get in the way of the install but i dunno since I do not have a ex/se. #3 you can buy a longer bolt for the rear sway bar to compensate for the clearance issue what you would do is turn the L bracket upside down and buy another spacer for it. thats what I did since I didn't want to cut anything yet since im lazy lol. I will post pics of what I did on a later note. I'll post up pics of bolts that came with the sway bar and what i bought.

Well, I guess that explains this: "Some modification of the brake line mounting tab may be required (mine did not, so it may be a rear drum thing)."

My Progress bar just got here yesterday and I'm working on installing it already. I just did a rear disc swap but I kept my LX trailing arms. So I ended up using my saw zaw to cut the piece off that the brake line mounts to. Now I'm gonna dremel the edges so they're smooth/even bc I'm particular about little things like that haha. I'll let everyone know how it goes and post a pic once the install is complete.

Thanks so much for this DIY. It came in very handy last night while I installed mine. I had this thread open on my iphone throughout the whole installation process.
I don't want to be critical, but I noticed one thing that I may be misunderstanding.
12) To assemble and secure each bar bracket assmebly:
D) lift the backing plate into place, with the spacers for the rear hole. Place the pivot bushing bracket over the rear and middle hole in the backing plate, place 1 5/16" flat washer on all three bolts. Place 1 5/16 nylon locking nut on each bolt, and then tighten.
Thanks again for the work and effort to put this together!

I think that is supposed to read "front" and middle holes...It makes sense when you do the installation tho.
Thanks again for the work and effort to put this together!
