    front takes no time, rear is a PITA.

    but both can be a major PITA if they need to be ground out a little.

    sometimes the strut towers have already wandered so far apart or together that you need to enlarge the holes in order to mount the things.

    Grinding the holes a little doesn't take long if you have to. Just means opening the holes up a tiny bit if you have to.

    Rear also isn't really that bad, shouldn't take more than ten minutes.

    No one told you if it was worth it yet, my answer is a definite yes if you drive the car hard like I do. It really stops a lot of the lateral bouncing and rebound. If you don't notice stiffer cornering then you have other problems, hubs, ball joints bushings etc. I have both bars from ZZP and had no problem installing them. The rear for an 04+ has some course adjustment that may have made it easier. Just an FYI, after 80k miles replacing the hub bearings made the biggest difference in how my car handles. Also, gear wrenches help with the rear install

    Your over thinking this..buy it. No it won't have any more effectiveness if your lowered opposed to if you keep it like it is now. It will help w/ body roll. It's a cheap effective suspension upgrade.

    thats swaybars. STB does pretty much nothing to a w-body, it should be the last upgrade.
