See rob.ok's thread. Scroll down, the install is very straight forward

You have to remove the four steering rack mounting bolts to put these in. Pretty easy install. After removing the airbox, it's about a 5 min. job.

I did notice a difference in response. At the time of install, the car was completely stock w/050's.
