    Follow the first vid you posted from total chaos. The second from low range is more effort than its worth. I wouldn’t recommend anyone install they way they did.

    What part don’t you like? I use that method for all my installs (about 7 now) and it’s easy.

    Dropping the lower control arm. Completely unnecessary step.

    It’s an opinion. No use arguing about it.

    Nice! I really want to get the 8112/8100 set up. Just haven’t heard enough reviews on them.

    You don't need any specialty tools to install Coilovers / UCA's / AAL's and Rear Shocks? How about the ECGS Bearing?
    If not, I'm assuming you just need to go get an alignment after you're done?

    For the ECGS bushing you'll want their removal tool. For the install, you can go to auto zone and rent the bearing race and seal driver kit. You'll also want a 35mm socket to get the axle nut off. Other than that, nothing is really too specialized.
