Sway bar install

How difficult is it to install sway bars? I'm thinking of upgrading to
hotchkis or GM T1 (which ever is stiffer) and I want to do it myself.
I did all the mods in my car except for the exhaust so I guess I'm
ok with tools...

A virtual piece of cake! Go for it. Absoultely no alignment necessary unless you needed it already.

I just did this last weekend. Used Zo6 sway bars, and it was very easy to do. Took about an hour for both. No squeeks, not one problem yet.... and its by far the most noticable modification I have done yet. I would recommend this to every single C5 owner. Good luck

one of the first mods I did in my garage on 4 rhino ramps and with some jack stands and my low profile jack.

Easy to do just take your time. If you have a pre 02 car (01 Z) you should also upgrade to the metal endlinks.
