I was able to do it solo on ramps. Had to grind down a 15mm flare nut wrench to hold the nut in the back of the retainer (I couldn't find an offset open end 15mm anywhere). I found that if I angled the offset wrench just right it would hold in place by itself while I tightened the bolt. The torque specs are 48 ft. lbs. for the endlink bolts & 45 ft. lbs. on the retainers.

Aloha,
Mark

Ordered my Eibach sways yesterday...has anyone dropped their car first, then ordered aftermarket sways? Which helped most? I'll be able to answer my own question in a few days but was just wondering...

I dropped first, and then ordered the sways. That was a bad move, if I were to do it again, I would do it in the following order, sways, shocks, and then drop. The money spent on the sways was the best purchase that I've done on this car, after that it was Stage 1 and then the Koni's. BTW, I took my BTG muffler off, it was just a tad bit too much for me.

I agree wity macster. The eibach anti-roll kit is the best performance mod that I have made. Still need the shocks, but I may not lower the car. Road conditions around here male it difficult to lower a daily driver. Still contemplating.......
