No tips really. It's a straight bolt in affair. Adjustable tension rods will allow you to increase caster, and replace that nasty OEM bushing or the bad idea Energy Suspension tension rod bushing.

Do one side at a time, and torque to OEM spec. Do the final torque with the car on the ground. Hard to do that? That's because you should get the car onto an alignment rack, where the tech can make sure the car is to spec, and also do a quick torque on the bolts.
