PAA charges 75 (according to their website). i'd say it's safe to say that a large # of people here installed it themselves. it helps having a buddy help you out (or a really cool fiance like i did - just wish she woulda taken theat damn ring off). it wasn't too bad...i think i just picked a really hot day to do it

Installing the rear anti-sway bar was a breeze, but the front one was a short wrestling match. I used ramps bought at knects (sp), it took a twist at the end to feed the front bar into place. Only mildly frustrating. Installation took about 1 1/2 hrs. Could do it in 45 minutes now. Local speed shop said it would cost $150 for them to do it. I figured I saved 100 bones and the ramp and extension were free. My Type S has less body lean without stiffining straight line suspension compliance. Just what the doctor ordered. Good luck. Be sure to see Chod's website if you have not already.

i used four jackstands and a 2 ton jack. i'd say 2 hours would be a generous approximation. i also found it to be tremendously easier with the wheels off.
