It's much easier to replace lcas one at a time. I have no info on sfc and relocation brackets because I have yet to even put mine on. Hopefully you got the weld on ones, being as I can't weld anyways. Mine isn't on the road right now so before I put it on the road I will get this stuff welded up. Good luck

you're supposed to do it one side at a time.
make sure you have a hammer or mallet nearby when putting the reloc brackets on. they gave a lot of trouble. other than that it's pretty easy.

Well i ended up getting the LCA's on and the relo brackets on. everything went pretty good for the most part except I was torqueing the very last bolt on the drivers side LCA and ended up smashing my middle finger right into a sharp groove on the bottom of our cars. Luckily I had my mechanics gloves on so I thought it might just be bruised but at further looking I hit my nail so hard that I broke my whole nail off 
so my right hand isnt doing so hot right now but I am fightin thru it. Luckily I got my father to help me weld the SFC's on which we are gonna try to get put on the car today so hopefully they won't give me any trouble. I am pleased with how the LCA's/Relo brackets feel. The car has ABSOLUTELY no wheel hop anymore and feels much more solid and better specially when going over bumps and stuff so I can't wait to see what the SFC's will do also in solidifying the car.
