Questions before sway bar install Hey, are there any torque settings I need to know for the front and rear sway bars on my 02 camaro SS? Including the end link and mounts. Second is there anything else I need to know or any mistakes someone has made? Thanks!

16ftlbs for the mounts and 18ftlbs for the endlinks. It's recommended that the suspension be loaded when you tighten the endlinks. Don't over tighten the endlinks, they're good when the bushings start to bulge.
Took me 1 1/2 hrs to do my front and rear UMI bars on Friday. Take your time and good luck.

Just make sure you put grease on the bush, not the endlink. Depends on with kinda spring you've, you might need to cut the spacer little. I've 1.2" drop so I cut the spacer off 1".

For the rear, you might have to jack up a side a little to make the endlinks line up well. I had to the other day. Also the spacers given to you may not always be ideal depending on your ride height.
