Adding to this question.....would it make sense to put sways on a stock sport package sdet-up? What advantage would I notice in everyday driving if I do not change the suspension components?

Pull the plastic motor tray (about a dozen screws) and it's 10-14mm nuts & bolts in front. Pull 2 plastic "aero" trays (6 10mm nuts & bolts) and it's 6-14mm nuts & bolts in the rear. Are you doing Hotchkiss? 2 hours if you're careful, measure and fiddle around with collar placement before bolting everything together (loctite & torque to 40 lbs). After doing that I'd recommend bolting the bars on 1st, make sure they're centered, then install the collars - 1.5 hours.

The Stillens took me about 1h 15min for the front and 1h for the rear taking my time.

The front takes a little longer because you need to remove the bottom cover and
there are many screws holding it. Other then that, it's very self explanatory.

The rear is a little trickier as you need to snake the bar off and new one on. Just
pull back the passenger side straight back and you should be able to snake it off
the car. I loosen the exhaust braket located just under where the swaybar crosses
the midpipe. No need to remove, just loosen it.

There is a HUGE difference while using the Stillen over stock. Im currently using
soft setting on front and med on the rear. Seems to have the best neutral bias
on my springs and tires on the street. If i was going to track the car, I would probably
use med front and rear and lessen neg camber from the rear wheel/tires.
