You may want to call Nancy at Hellwig. They're still doing the group sales; I just bought the rear sway bar for $150 + $35 shipping. I don't know what they're asking for the front. All the parts were in there and it was a cinch to put on. Make sure you have a torque wrench. Afterwards I took it for a test drive and thought - big mistake - I can take corners a lot faster. lol! It's great!

That was my next question.
How difficult are they to install, with no garage and no way to lift the car?

It looks like just a few bolts so a couple jack stands would likely do the job. Obviously a lift would be preferred whenever under the car.

It was pretty easy you will probably need some type of lift and stands though.  You can get a kit at a local auto parts place probably. I got a kit with a jack and 2 stands for $30 I think.  I don't know about everybody else but I took off the tires but it is just a couple of simple bolts

I am skinny and I did it
with the stang sitting on
the ground at ride height.
I just slid under there with
my wrenches and swapped
the front out for the GT front
take-off sway and then went
to the back and since my
V6 didnt have a sway the GT
take-off went right on.

It needs to be
at ride height with
the suspension loaded before
you can torque
the fastners.
Ramps work good for this.

i actually did mine on my lowered car with minimal jack usage, no problem. you dont need a lift. and ramps will do well too. they will cost maybe 30 bucks. i think theyre called rhino ramps or race ramps...

i did my rear though with no lifting i believe...

and you dont need it on the ground, you just need full weight on the suspension. so you can torque it down while on jacks. make sure you re-tighten them after a couple days...
