@Cross, maybe I'll take you up on the garage offer. An extra set I hands would be nice, especially from someone more familiar with this car.

Remove the engine crash plates, disconnect the end links, remove the sway bar bushing mounts and drop the sway bar. Makes the whole process about an hour from start to finish and no fighting to get the sway bar around and over things.

Yeah, I figured those plates had to come out. I didn't jack up the rear, so not sure what needs to be done there.

The rear you can pretty much do with the car on the ground. Front takes a bit more work, as is tradition
