DIY or leave to the pros

You didn't say for which model, or for what reason you want to upgrade, but it should be a piece of cake. The turbo tie rods should be really easy. Tools needs are a ball joint separator or pickle fork, a hammer, and a big ass crescent wrench (you'll need that because you'll need the leverage to get the old tie rods out, they tend to be in there pretty tight.) Other than some grunt I can't see as this being something I would pay someone else to do. You didn't comment on which sway bars you were planning on putting in. Could be something you would want to look into first as to what is entailed. Depending on what you want, it may require an extensive amount of dissasembly, gas tank as well as drilling through the fender wells and so forth. If you are upgrading for the sake of making an upgrade then you may want to save your money and put it somewhere else like DE or Auto Cross. Try the technical forum on Pelican Parts or the DIY section on Rennlist. You know, this would be perfect for Larry's "Show and Tell" thread he started a few weeks back. Shame I don't live in PA, I'd offer to hold it in my garage.
