As Camaro2you said, getting the old ones off is the hardest part...After that it's smooth sailing, just take your time and have fun with it.

get new endlinks. They will snap off usually when taking the old ones off. Actually, they are almost expected to.

use a impact to snap them and get then off easily.

Get poly bushings and endlinks. They don't cost much for a full set front and rear.

What size bars are you planning on going with? What shocks and springs do you have?

Bars have to be selected carefully....you shouldn't just go buy a big set of bars and toss them on an otherwise stock-suspended car and expect the handling to improve.
