Sway bar is pretty straight forward once you get under the car (I think it's like 6 bolts?), but you'll probably need to pop the rear struts out. Here's a link to k-huevo's spring DIY with instructions on removing the rear struts. I'll look around and see if I can find a sway bar DIY. I think redbull posted one a year or so ago.

Here's Red Bull's DIY. It's pretty straight forward.

On the intake, I've provided a link to the Alta instructions. Use these as a guide for removing the stock box. Once the stock box is removed, it looks like you simply attach the business end of the DoS filter to the MAF sensor. (NOTE: be EXTREMELY careful with the MAF. It ain't cheap, and without it... it's bad news bears.) There is also a pipe on the bottom that feeds air from the front of the car. The lower part of the DoS intake should be connected there as well.

Edit: It looks like on the bottom pipe you have to remove the stock elbow before you attach it to the intake.

panda81,

PM me with your email and I'll get a set of the prospective buyer instructions off to you.

Have a good night.
