Front Sway Bar Replacement...DIY ???

Id like to upgrade to at least a type-s sway bar on my 04 A/T, and Im not sure how to approach the job. Does anyone have a walkthrough or DIY with pictures or anything?? Some guidance would be a big help..

When I got underneath there it seems like we would have to partially drop the front subframe a bit. Not as easy as the rear.

^ that is correct, not even in the same league as swapping the rear.

These are posted elsewhere, in one of IHC's threads maybe (?). If you search you might find some additional info - this is all I have.

No wonder I was getting confused. He has two spring threads open, two front swaybar threads, and two axle threads.

What would make the front of my car feel rough and jittery when I hit certain bumps, especially on the highway? I have Tokicos with the gay oem springs, all new bushings and arms, new PS rack, pump, tie rods, ball joints, engine mounts, Progress RSB, BF gforce comp 2 tires.... Anything with the sub-frame I could be missing, or do I need to upgrade the springs a bit? It very sensitive to the air pressure I have in

Progress rsb does not affect the front end at all
