You will love the new stance with the sportlines, install isn't bad at all you the only time you might need a second person is with the front springs and struts. Be careful and make sure you compress the springs on the old struts to remove the strut mount if you are not careful you will loose the bearings and have to go and buy new mounts.

Put the springs in last...that way you can get a jack in underneath the car....

Store two pieces of 2X4 boards in your garage to drive up on. This will allow enough space to get a jack underneath. ;-)

well, I got the whole front end done today including the chin splitter...I'm sore, cut up and sunburned...but the front looks AWESOME. I will post some pics tomorrow afternoon when I finish it up. The sportlines were an excellent choice. I'm pretty stoked about the whole thing.
