Info, or you need someone to actually help INSTALL them. As for info, lift the car up, and support the frame. Drop the K member, and reove/install you long tubes.

Make sure you take off the calipers and undo the strut bolts. its fairly simple, just a little time consuming. Gabe (youl luz) got his BBK long tubes in without dropping the K the first time, but i think its simpler (and easier on your hands) if the K comes out.
