You can do the entire install without taking off the wheels (front and back). My reccomendations: use a lift, tranny jack, IMPACT WRENCH for the rack and pinion bolts (TRUST ME). Also use the impact wrench to put them back on. End links can be taken off with a socket wrench. I had to change my front endlinks ("stabilizer links" for google search) with 02' Camry ones due to a rubbing issue i had with the front sway bar. I highly reccomend it becuase it gives perfect clearance.

Other than that I dont think the front install was that hard. I have ZERO knowledge of car stuff and I got it on in 3 hours.

Use that tranny jack to push back up the subframe for realignment. Easy day all the bolts will line perfectly.

two things:
1. just went on a cruise today with a group of guys. I was following an 82' porsche 911 and was being followed by an Audi TT 1.8t. I was keeping up with the porsche pretty good. He wasnt going all out but neither was I (except for one corner). You should never go all out on the street. But anyway, there were numerous times in the curves when i would look back and not see the audi for a pretty good while . And btw that has quattro . and yes the dude knows how to drive. So yea the sway bars are def a big improvement cause i used to have trouble hanging on our cruises. O and I just put on an injen CAI, def helped on the straights...its just a little but it helps. If i actually had nice brake pads and nice tires, i cant even imagine how the tC would be. I def suprised a lot of the dudes. They were like damn I didnt realize tCs were that fast...
2. I was talking with a friend and i realize he is probably right about this too. You really need to install the dezod endlinks with the suspension preloaded. So having a jack or something under the suspension compressing it would be ideal. I am pretty sure that installing it uncompressed will still work but just something to take into consideration. My endlinks are gonna get here soon and i'll give more info when i figure out what i'm gonna do.
