Things look way too tight with the inter-coolers and heat shields in place, I would love to see a good writeup on how to pull that off...

The 2 coil pack heat shield 10mm cover bolts are visible and so are all the 5mm coil pack bolts on both sides. If bolts are visible, they're removable in most cases. Just have to be good with hand tools. Swivels will be needed!! The toughest coil pack bolts to get to and reinstall is the middle coil on the passengers side. To remove spark plugs will require a different length extension at almost every plug. You must make due with what space you have at each cylinder. You MUST take advantage of every mm of space. The entire job is a SOLID 2 hours on intense labor. I have done it in 1.5 before. If you're not an "extremely" skilled tech, pull the bumper off. It will be faster for you in that case. It will take LONGER to do it without removing bumper if you're not an animal.

Nice DIY. The pictures really help a lot. The only other thing that would improve it is adding a list of all the tools needed to do the job. That would complete the DIY guide.

No prob guys. Is this is the best way to do it without damaging anything, including your hands. I am sure there are other ways, but we happened to have a car that we did recently so took the step pics.
Sway bar thread? Link.
Dont have one for a non turbo, but I am sure someone does here on the board. Have you checked Renntech.org?
