The install guide on their site makes it look easy on a lift and possible but harder w/ jack stands

With that much HP you want traction too.

Default Anything is DIY. Remove something and put it back when you're done.

Just count on having your car down for awhile. Definately save you a pretty penny and you'll learn a thing or two. If anything you'd have the experience to help other S4 cats out there!

Default I just did mine

I certainly consider it DIY, but I had the luxury of a lift to do the work and my motor & tranny were out at the time.

I think the hardest part was just getting the tranny fluid level back to where it should be. Refill it, drive it a little, check it again, add some more fluid, etc. Make sure you get the cheap fluid pump from Autozone to pump the fluid back into the transmission. And you'll need a 10mm hex to remove the fill plug.

Default No not yet

I've only got about 180 miles on my new flywheel and clutch so I don't want to torture it too much yet .

I'm currently traveling for work in Hungary (2 weeks) so I haven't had the chance to drive it much. It should be broken in by the next meet.

If it is a DIY I'm going to seriously consider buying one...

Default you wouldn't have a clue what you were comparing it to, mr. stock suspension

since my suspension setup is closer to his, I'll test it for him
