    First question; if you got'em what do ya got and how do you like 'em.
    Secondly; since I just got my springs installed, should I wait until I get the swaybars to get the alignment?

    3rdly; anyone able to help me w/ the install?

    21-22mm front, 22mm adjustable rear and you'll be fine for the street and a bit beyond. will not affect the alignment at all. With air tools and a lift it took me about 20 mins to do the front bar, but it requires removing the front subframe so you need to understand what that entails. I wouldn't want to do it not on a lift, thats for sure.

    rear bar can be installed in a driveway as long as you have ramps and racthets. its not very hard.

    Pfts... wuss.
    i installed my rear bar with the car sitting on the ground.
    it's DEAD nuts simple. i just popped a couple of exhaust hangers to get the clearance needed to feed the bar in.

    I put my rear bar in with the car on the ground. It's not that difficult. Although the stupid gas tank emissions canister thing was in the way of one bolt.

    Same as esperunit, I have both. I would highly recommend a front bar, as it improves turn in and body roll even more dramatically then a rear bar. 22mm for both is fine for street use. Although, if I had to do it again, I would do 24mm fsb, and 22mm rsb.

    I did my front on ramps on my driveway. While it would've been easier with a lift, it really wasn't that hard, as long as you have a impact wrench. The rear is a piece of cake.
