Ok, here's the installtion pics and notes:

Starting out:

Front Strut:

The car here is a 99. Notice in the picture above that in addition to the brake line, there's an additional wheel sensor line (ABS maybe??) that must also be removed. It's a 10mm bolt.

Front done looking like it's got a rear lift:

Rear Strut:

Same thing to note here as on the front, the additional wheel sensor line that must be removed.

Technique for removal/installation of sway bar end link. Craftsman reversible ratcheting wrenches are the bomb.

All done!!!!!!!!!! This is killer now. I highly recommend the S-Techs. Ride quality is VERY comparable to stock until you load the suspension up in a turn, and then you can tell that something isn't normal. Anyway, here's pics!!!!

Before:

After:

Looks GREAT Sean. I suggest some OEM rear extensions - would complete the look.

i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this.
