go with the links and get moog - cheap and nice and stiff. i haven't done those but i've replaced my tie rod ends and it wasn't difficult.

Using a ramp is a lot safer than jacking up the car. Plus you've got a lot of room to work with.

Depending on the kind of sway bar (stillen, progress, etc), you might need a 10mm, 12mm and /or 14mm.

Just my $.02
