thanks Tony.

For those that think the price are too high, I might be able to work a deal with Hotchkis sways. I think they are $249 from Hotchkis direct. Let me know if you folks are interested, I can try to see how much cheaper than $249 I can get these for as a GP.

Though, I think I'm still going to go with Cuscos myself.

Moodie, as far as install, with three people we should be able to get this thing installed fairly quick

Just a little note about installation. On the rear sway bar, you don't really need to remove the exhaust. I did mine by just fishing out the rear sway and put the new one back the same way. It'll take some time to figure out but it should be quicker than taking out the exhaust bolts.
If you guys need help, let me know.

With the lift at KarToyz, it should be a breeze.....

Dave, Sorry for not replying earlier. I am also interested in the Cusco but installation seems expensive. I am totally clueless as far as working on car goes. So will appreciate any help. I am going to be out of town for 2 weeks from 3/20 so let me know when you guys going to buy & do the install.

cool, 3 cuscos!!
actually, I wouldn't worry too much about installation. I plan on doing my own and I'm more than happy to help you guys install yours. Sans cusco tech day or such. And with Jason and Chad's help, I'm sure we can get 3 intalled fairly fast.

Not necessary- I have the ability to walk on water and fly after I've had a 12 pack
Or we could do the install at my house and then I can drink and not have to worry about driving.
