Yes you are right, I will correct the instructions. I think you could probably leave the front of the brace loosely connected as it is tough to get back into position doing it by yourself.

No the stock end links are fine. Yes, I would go with the softest rear setting for the street. I use the middle setting on track and just leave it there for the street as well.

Installing sway bars does not change the alignment at all. However you may find that with a stiff front bar that you desire more front camber to counter the increased understeer.

This thread saved my install, I was sitting there looking at the Stillen instructions when the sway bar would not come out no matter how I tried to twist it but this guide had the info on lowering the 4 point brace which made all the difference.

Yeah, I had the equally useful Hotchkis instructions which were for a G35 - which of course doesn't have that brace. Actually when I did it I completely removed the brace but found it was a real pain to reinstall solo, hence the suggestion to just drop one end.

I took your recommendation and left the two rear bolts in and the four others at the front forks off which let it hang down enough to get the old out and the new in. Thanks Chris.

Great writeup. One question: You said you experienced increased understeer after the install. Did you install a larger front sway bar at the same time? I ask because usually a stiffer rear sway bar will decrease understeer, while a stiffer front bar will increase it.
