Are you guys getting your car aligned right after installation?
I would do it either way. Anytime you mess with suspension it is most likely going to throw off alignment in some shape or form.

I agree. My toe was off when I installed mine and went back to align.

Just installed mine last night.. What a difference! Anyone know what the final torque specs are on all the bolts? I recall the large 22mm bolts needing to be torqued down to 150 ft. lbs. The inner 17mm I torqued down to 100 ft. lbs. and the bracket piece was hand tightened snug...

Thanks!

^^^^On jack Stands, I guess I can't really can't stay. I did mine on ramps, and it was a total PITA. There just was no darn room to maneuver. If you can get your jack stands high enough maybe it wouldn't be as bad.

Jack stands are the way to go. Should take you less than 1 hr.

you will need room as Lou suggested, it might be hard to remove the old ones out

Mine have been on for about two months. I notice a very slightly rougher ride as others have described. All in all they're great. I mainly got them to improve tire wear. Everything else is a welcome bonus.

I have ramps too, but I heard removing the wheels will make it easier so I plan on using jack stands.

Good to hear, thanks!

Did you have to use a pry bar or wrecking bar to get the old ones out?

its possible without a pry bar. i used my 1/2" wrench and my jack instead of the pry bar. works great cause the jack holds it in place and gives you 2 free hands to do whatever you need. i also did it on jack stands.

i'd advise completely removing the plastic paneling on the bottom. it feels like a bunch of fiberglass shards stabbing you. kinda annoying.
