[QUOTE="scottydsntknow, post: 16168175, member: 79824"] I was lucky in that the previous owner of my IRS had already done the subframe bushings with Prothane poly, new swaybar and heim joints. LCAs came out easy for me, UCAs not hard, neither were the cross axis. Longest part was just re-assembling it and putting it all together and getting it up into the car. Make sure you have some sort of spreader to spread the actual front mounting buckets on the car itself apart when you are putting it back into place or you'll never get it back in. Made it super easy with an extra 1/4" or so of wiggle. I installed it myself no issue. Push it under the car, get a jack under the front of it and jack the front of it up into the buckets and install the front bolts all the way through (can be fun to get the bolts straight through). Then just jack the rear up into place and bolt in the rear mounts. Definitely do the cross axis joints while you are in there and if you aren't planning on replacing the tie rods with the FTBR bumpsteer kit... do that too. The stock tie rods are flimsy as hell.
