What kind of help do you need?? 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. This is the slightly "shortened version"

D oesnt really take any special tools to drop the K, i think we used a about 3 jack stands, a floor jack, and a couple extra hands. support the frame of the car with the jack stands( not under the K) then put your floor jack under the K, take out the bolts a drop it down. 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. Just my .02
