What do these do exactly? I can't quite visualize how these work. I mean I understand they move the sway bar in such a way as to allow 15" wheel bigger than 8" wide to fit, but how do they accomplish this?

You don't need to relocate your sway bar to fit a 15x10 wheel. I run a 15x10 pro star with 325/50-15 MT drag radial, even before I removed my stock sway bar and went to the bmr extreme anti roll bar, it wasn't a problem. Maybe its for a lowered car, that's all I can think of.

My shocks are the closest things to my rear tires.

Hmmm...then why does every place tell you they are needed with 10" wheels?

I hate spending money I don't need to spend.

If you run a 15x10 with 7.5 in back spacing ,it moves the sway bar up and foward and you cut the bottom off of the existing bracket so it don't hit your wheel.Lowered or not you need these to run the proper wheels.

Makes a bit more sense.

Does anybody have a picture of these installed?

I have the Steeda kit on mine but no pics.Very simple to do and Steeda gives you a nice manual with pics to help you out.

I'm sorry, I made a bullshit post. You're right I completely forgot about it. I cut my brackets off and ran no sway bar for a while before installing my bmr extreme anti roll bar. Sorry for the misinformation.

Food for thought. You want want to run to a hardware shop and buy a better grade carriage bolt than the ones provided. I broke one very easily. I have installed hundreds of carriage bolts and the ones provided are not that great.
