Yeah thats right! If you have a deep 14mm socket and a nice wrench..okay the tools needed for it, it'll be a tastey dinner! Let me know who can help or atleast guide me! I have a jackstands and a jack and the basic tools, as well as a single car garage, good enough to work on 1 side at a time!

hah i can just yell out my backyard and julian would hear me. I wanted to do this myself with guidance. I've heard its easy so i'll give it a shot. The sway bars actually come in tuesday. I thought they were coming from near by but i lied!

Ill definately let MRC install springs, dampeners and F/R camber equipment though when I have the dough to buy them.. I dont mess with that stuff :-D

I did my Hotchkis front and rear sway bars infront of my townhouse by myself. Breaker bar made it easier. You should be able to do this alone

Fax would be way too slow. I'll email it to you. Honestly, im scared of breaking something like a bolt or something. I've already broken like 3 or 4 14mm forged bolts and misthreaded the bolt on the plenum. Working on a car isn't for me lol. Im pretty good with tools but i just don't have small enough hands!

Well i did it tongiht. In 40 degree weather. Rear wasn't too bad, it was a pain to get it around the exhaust since one side is welded. The front was much easier except that my friend stripped the bolt on the driver side end link. I was able to get it off but since I didnt have another 17mm bolt, i reused that one, and only tightened to 30 ft-lbs instead of 40 ft-lbs as instructed by the manual. It was still tight, and i plan on putting on a new unstripped 17mm nut in in a few days.

Overall, the car was tighter. Its not MUCH stiffer so thats its uncomfortable, but it got rid of 70% of the body roll. I was able to take turns quite a bit harder. I can't wait to get springs/dampeners!
