eibach front bar is fail.And changing bushings is a pita job. If the car is pre 2006 it has single bolt fixing and should be upgraded to two bolt, and thats a even larger pita job. its up to you.

I have a 2006 ss/sc and it has the 2 Bolts on it I'm just wondering if it's a hard job to do or should I upgrade. And if the eibach sway bar isn't good I won't bother

its a fiddly job but not impossible. wobble 13 mm sockets and long extensions, etc, leave the bar in place undo the pillow block slide on the new bushings reassemble the block be happy. I would use a little amount of Superlube for the bushings which are split to make it easy to go on and not squeak later.
