i've got a partial set, just not installed yet. Gotta get the rest of the pieces. You have to get the control arm bushings pressed out. Plan on having your whole car on jackstands and about 6 hours to take everything apart. Then take them to a machine shop and press out the bushings you need taken out.

ya this kit is not an easy kit to install, i had to go buy a shop press to remove the old bushings and sleeves. they go back in real easy, but thats about the only easy part, but i love em they work great
