I.E. Your preferences and set ups. Probably going to use some Xmas cash for a set-if I get some. Don't know how good I've been this year.

Default Easy?

Just add a rear 19mm to the stock front 20mm.

If you want to get a little more aggressive, bump the front up to the 22mm. It's a big PITA install though. The rear is simple (and cheap)

Default Never looked at the install for the front-what's so bad about it? And for the rear, can>

you do the install without jacking up the car or is a lifted car easier?

Default Heh... yes, da back must be jacked up, but you don't have to remove the exhaust, just lower the rear

muffler a little by unbolting the brackets from the body.

Front is a PITA due to the fact that it can't be removed or new on installed without removing a bunch of crap. I think if you search you can find Steve's post on the install. Or check his Fotki album. It's doable but bank on hours... vs about 45 minutes for the rear.

Default Ooops...180?.

Frontrak? I forgot. Everything in the rear is different for the FWD. There are 25 and 28mm bars with adjustable pick-ups. Just rear, go with the 25, with the 22mm front go with the 28. On the front you have to drop the subframe which requires time on a lift ect as well as alignment after..
