They clunk a little, particularly over expansion joints. However, I don't daily drive the car anymore, so when I do i want to get the most out of it.

On a D.D. not sure i'd want Rod ends. i'd lean more towards Rubber/ Poly.

Easy as jacking up the car and removing two bolts.
Its just that one of them is a little awkward (sp?) with the body in the way (there is a notch, but after the 3/4 mark a socket wrench no longer fits).

Before removing them, make sure that both the body and the rear end are supported in the air since the LCAs hold the rear-end in the car. You dont want to support just the body or just the rear beacuse one or the other could move and pose a dangerous situation.

Here is the write-up from Install University:
http://www.installuniversity.com/ins...ca_install.htm

I installed SLP SFCs and Spohn LCAs at the same time.

Here is the write-up I followed for the SFCs:
http://users3.ev1.net/~cnl1/firehawk/subframe/index.htm

That is basically how I had my car supported when I installed the SFCs and LCAs.

Since my driveway is at an angle, i didnt have to jack up the front to have the car be level during the install.

EDIT:
Also, Do one LCA at a time to minimize the chance of the rear moving around!
