Default question for those that have VBP Performance Plus suspension

As some of you know, we are making a group purchase of the Performance Plus suspension from VBP. One person has a question on complexity of install, tools required, etc. Could someone answer his questions in the thread about the group purchase? http://forums.corvetteforum.com/zero...=380794&page=5 His question is at (or near) the bottom of the page. Thanks for your assistance.

I have installed all the kit pieces or similar ones over the years using hand tools. I was a rookie when I started. You will need shop assistance with a hydraulic press in changing the control arm bushings. You may need a separator fork. You should use a torque wrench to do it right.
Don't know about VBP instructions but the shop manual or Chiltons or Haynes covers it well
