Install was pretty straight forward, there's a lot of good write-ups on the forum already...the only snag I ran into was the lower strut mount bolt was seized in the bushing I ended up cutting it off before I discovered that it's a special order dealer part. I made do by using a grade 8 bolt for the week it took to get the proper bolt in. Other than that no issues!

I suggest you remove the sway bar end links from the nut under the lower control arm, and swing the sway bar out of the way with the end links still attached to it.
As said earlier, the end links tend to snap if trying to remove the nut on top. So, remove the nuts on the bottom of the link, under the control arm, and they wont break.
