I've done all my bolt ons except my pullies. Normal everyday tools and simple jack. How hard is it to put on aftermarket rear control arms? I've had some in my garage for my 00 gt but if its too difficult for me ill save them or sell them. Thanks!

Supppper easy? 2 jack stands a good jack and its 4 bolts should take longer to set it up than to do the actual job.

ive swapped out mines for the first time and it is very straightforward...are you doing uppers and lowers? imo the uppers are a bit harder but definitely do-able

lowers are way harder imo uppers are cake, you have to drop the muffler to get to the damn bolt on the frame/body [Mad] n op if your doing uppers only go with adjustable ones so you can center the diff

I want to say they are uppers? I got them in a trade about 6 months ago and they're sitting in my garage. I may just sell them and wait until I redo the rear end..which is not soon buy eventually ill get to it
