I will have to ask Steve when he gets here tomorrow.
If you are doing the coilovers yourself, then the rest is easy.

Easy as pie. Control arms take some wrestling to get them into place though...

Control arms take an hour. The end links are plain simple. half hour to an hour for front and rear. Like I said before though, hold off on the end links unless you find you actually need them.

We did ours up at Steves house. 1st coilover install. Took a bit to get the right settings. Should be a lot easier on yours.
If I remember, 2-days. Front one day, rear one day.

Depends on how low and the camber. Ours put a bind on the swaybar, so we put them on.

We both have them on our MINI's. We also have upper and lower rear control arms. Steve made a bracket for the headlight sensor.

~$200 depending on the shop. If you file the openings on your strut towers, it makes it alot easier.
