Not hard to do at all, just a matter of undoing four bolts, two on each side. I just got one the other day. I think I needed a 14mm or 15mm socket, can't remember for sure, but it was the only one I didn't have so it took a little longer, but still less than a half an hour. I took a jack, but did not need it as the car was resting on a stack of tires. I didn't even have to jack up my car or take the wheels off to get it on. Nice easy upgrade with a great end result.

All you need is the 15mm, a ratchet, and an extension, as long as the car is on wheels and tires that have air in them, you dont need to jack it up.

Get the front swaybar too. It's more difficult to get, but both of the swaybars make a big impact.

What exactly is pic-a-part? I found out in speech class today that there's one 18 miles from my house. I'm going to have to go by there some time next week.
