How long ago did you have the swaybars put in?

If it was fairly recent then the bolts may not have rusted up again and it might go smoothly. Other than those darn rear shock bolts it really is a pretty easy conversion. The front struts bolt in very easily - I think that took me about 10 minutes a side. The rears took me 4 or 5 hours but I think I could do that in less than 2 the second time around. I initially tried to beat out the bolts by taking of the rear hubs but all that did was bend some metalwork. I tried the sawzall after that but went thorugh a lot of blades with not much reward. In the end what worked best was an air cut off tool. Replacing the bushings can be a little tricky, but researching various methodologies on the BB made it simpler, especially since I have a cheap harbor freight press in my garage.
Anyway I recommend the upgrade. I did it because I noticed a big difference in the handling of my wife's Aero compared with my CSE - now things are much more even!
