It's pretty darn similar to doing it on the F2x/F3x. The bracing and some bolts/torque specs may differ slightly. I'm not sure you even really need a rear sway bar increase on this platform unless you've gone to an aftermarket suspension that changed the spring bias to the front heavily (a lot of them do).

That’s useful thanks

Not sure why you’d remove the damper though? And only one of them.

Getting a lot of mid corner roll on track, so much so the mug flaps at the front of the bumper are scuffing the floor. Can’t be tuned out with dampers so needs sway bars

Going H&R as that’s what the M235 & M240 racing run.

Removing the damper on the side you want to take the bar out of gives you more room to maneuver the bar since it doesn't just pull straight out.
