I'm no guru but I have installed these. The DIY has the car on a drive-up lift, therefore I drove the front on ramps, jacked the rear to slide in borrowed-ramps, everything else I followed with this DIY. I used 2 jacks for helping hands and greased and positioned the bushings before hand.

Sorry to say, but I wouldn't want to do this work for the third time. Especially since finch is working on 2 shops to get the best flat rate.
