Make sure you do a DIY that'd be kinda nice.

Just did a little research and we actually have a guy here that specializes on stanced cars and is the best in town, so will only be looking at $70 for alignment after I put them on

jgr7 and dannyboy26, Curious if you've put the front and/or rears in as yet? Want to do mine in the spring so would love to see a DIY on this.

Make sure you loosen both lock nuts and unscrew both ends the same before you install. The inside is left hand threads so after it is installed you loosen the jam nuts and turn the center of the arm to shorten or lengthen then tighten the jam nuts to secure the length. It is very easy.

Actually installed my rear arms this weekend, pretty easy, don't think a DIY is even necessary.
