Default RE: Guide My Installation: Tools, Technique, Time?

Job complete!!!

Rear sway = easy
Lower control arms = easy
Upper Control Arm = takes time, moderately difficult to reach, but manageable
Rear Shocks = piece of cake
Front struts = moderately difficult only because I needed help lifting the struts upper 4 rods through the chassis and rebolting. PITA if you are alone.
PH bar = easy as apple pie.

All in all, I have zero mechanical background. I have changed my own oil maybe three times in my life. I wanted to save money on install and spend time on my baby.

With all the tech articles attached to this thread, I was able to handle the task of significantly upgrading my rear end!

Thanks for your help everyone who chimed in.

FYI - took car out and it HANDLES!!!! Significant improvement. Inspired confidence in hitting twisties at higher speeds.

My car really smokes!
