i agree with everything put feel i still can give a little

The front sway bar is an easy job - but takes time...you need to remove the battery side and brake booster side of the firewall to get to the bushings...i can post what mine looked like when i bought the car...not trash, but i did not want them...

also the springs require a compressor front and back as they are different, i suggest new spring cups for $2.50 because they take a lot of load...(as dave said the compressor issue is as old as the hills, my dad made me my own tools - thanks dad)

the dealer will tell you a bit about the rear subframe mounts - you may want to make sure you have the correct ones for your vin, or just for the basic car...i have not heard of problems

if you like/love your car then invest in a whole job or 90% job, you wont believe the difference...

i use 45mm progressive wound lowering springs, Bilstein HDs and a upper tower tie bar, ect...

check daves links...covers all...thanks dave
