How difficult is in to remove old ones / install new ones?
I found DIY but just wanted a feeling...
Thanks.

Rear is super easy. You don't even need to remove rear tires. Place on ramps. Remove drop link and brackets. Rotate and pull out behind pass side wheel. Insert new sway. Torque brackets to 17 ft lbs, links to 35 ft lbs. Front is a little tougher. Place front of car on jack stands. Do not use Pelican example to remove the clips on the under panel. Small screwdriver in the recess in the end is the way. Remove one bolt forward end of the two frame braces, loosen the rear bolt and swing under the fuel tank. Remove the 3- 15mm bolts on the crescent bracket under the sway brackets. Loosen the 18mm bolt thru control arm bushing enough to pivot crescent bracket to clear. Remove drop link and rotate sway bar out. Reinstall sway. Torque 18 mm bolts to 118 ft lbs. Forward 15mm and the frame bolts to 74 ft lbs. and the 4-15 mm thru the sway brackets to 45 ft lbs. Enjoy a new car drive. Took me about 3 hrs with lots of water breaks.
