1) I put them all on, but if I know I'm going to be taking the bumper off again soon, I'll only put in 2-4
2) Not exactly sure which screw you're talking about
3) None spring to mind

There are two bolts on each side on the inside of the bumper by the turn signals. I am referring to the inner most one.

Also what is the best way to remove winter grime/oxidation build up from polished lips?

^Those attach to the fender.

They should screw into a little plastic clip.
They're easy to get stripped out after a while too. I ended up ditching the plastic clips and just zip-tying them.
To remove them usually takes an extension or two for the one that tucks up underneath.

I just installed my Hotchkis rear sway bar, and when i was getting done and tightening up the rear driver side end link bolt i noticed that it appears to be longer than the other end link bolt (the bolt that goes thru the sway bar) Does any1 know if this is normal or odd?? BTW im using Stock end links

Has anyone used their stock rear springs and G/Z front springs? My stock rears sat pretty low, probably 2 fingers at most. The car is going to my wife, so I need to bring it back up a bit, but Z suspension looks to be about as low as the Eibach springs on there now, so I thought maybe Z front and stock rear?

It would probably be excessively "raked"

Maybe not if you use stock coupe springs for the front, but that's hardly going to change your ride height at all and probably isn't worth the effort.

^ I just have to get the car raised back up but since it still has rims and all the goodies Ive done the last couple years, I would hate to go back to stock ride height. I just want enough room for her to clear driveways and speed bumps. Youre on full Z susp arent you?

Can you compare it to the Eibach Pro Kit? Height wise?

It's fairly easy to change out rear springs isn't it? I could always just get the Z springs in and find some coupe rears later I guess.

You can always do the z springs up front and if it looks raked do the spring mount mod in the rear, that will drop the rear half an inch. And if it still looks raked get a couple subs in the trunk lol
