Installing GMPP front and rear sways
Well, I just got my bars in the mail. They're all stripped down, and I just sprayed em down with the first coat of ceramic caliper paint. While I wait for them to dry, I'd like to get the other bars out/prep for installing the new ones.
Someone mentioned dropping the subframe; I still don't really know what that is. Is it necessary to drop it a few inches, or does it just make life easier?
The bar *should* just slide out, if I remove the wheel/all the brackets holding the bar down...right?
Thanks guys!

Gosh no.. Jack the car about a foot off the ground and it'll come right out. I've done a ton and never dropped the subframe. Although dropping a little will make it easier to get at the rear bolts for the center bushings

Well, I got the rear one in. Piece of cake!!
Now to do the front.. I may end up renting out a lift at the local community college. My jack is terrible, and I can't seem to get the car quite high enough to comfortably do what I need to do.
