Lower subframe, install collars. Raise subframe.

Drive car.

Do you really need a guide for something so simple?

not very hard, just support the subframe, take off the 4 17mm bolts holding it up, drop subframe a little bit, put in the collars, bolt it back up... done

Sorry to barge in but how big is the difference after these are installed?
What gains do you get?Is it just chassi stiffness?

benefits are, less wheel hop,and a more solid rear end.

Cons are that they make DD lil more rougher, and extra cabin noise.

All true. I have the spl's collars and full urethane...the cabin is noisy as hell. I love it.

Great improvement over a sloppy stock suspension, but an increase in NVH. We installed a set of these in about 2 hours with basic hand tools and a lot of goofing off. If you focus you could knock it out in under 30 minutes.

Then you should man up and get solid subframe bushings and never worry about your collars eventually eating up you stock bushings.

SOLID FTMFW!
