just wanted to let everyone know that if you plan on keeping your rear sway bar you have to take the little threaded clips off the bar and install them on the tabs on the UPR lowers. that will let you keep the bracket that holds the parking brake cables to the LCA. other than that it was fairly easy. total install time with no lift and hand tools 1.5 hours including clean up

Yea i have a pair of adjustable lowers from upr that i've been meaning to install. Is it a fairly easy install? I've never done a pair of these before and they don't send instructions.

Did you get adjustable ones? I am thinking about a set but not sure whether to get adjustable or not, might be overkill for my needs. I put springs on last summer and thought right then and there I should have gone ahead with the lowers....

if you can do a spring install you can put on LCA's. it is only 8 bolts more.

i did not get the adjustable ones. the only reason i got UPR's to begin with is b/c i got the uppers and lowers brand new for $125. if i didnt find such a good deal i would have used the regular lowers and kept the stock uppers. i still have not installed the uppers. they will most likely sit till the car is back on the road.
