You will need: 2 axel stands, drill and 10mm bit, jack, good socket set including 15 mm spanner

First of all, make sure you have everything in the kit. If you are missing bushes or any part it will not go together correctly. Everything is in the kit for a reason.
1. Loosen wheels, jack up the car and leave it sitting on axel stands.
2. Take off the wheels, back bumper and plastic trim from the wheel arch on both sides. This allows extra room to fit your big head of hair in so you can see everything!
3. Now we must grease up all bushes with lithium grease. It’s supplied in the kit and apply it liberally.
4. Bolt on the anti-roll bar to the axel so that the supports are as far apart as possible. Tighten these up to the last and that is those taken care of.

5. You now bolt on the drop links to the anti-roll bar, at both sides. I shall call them drop links because I have no other name for them. Do not tighten them fully yet.
6. At this point you will proceed to jack up the back axel. Do this to compress the springs and it places the axel in the same position it would be when the car is on the ground. Jack it up just so it starts taking weight off the axel stands. Ensure the car is still on the stands and to be extra safe, put the two wheels under the car. Otherwise it becomes very dangerous.

7. Now assemble the top of the drop links. Bolt them in a way that places the L bracket roughly half way up the threaded part of the drop link.
8. IMPORTANT do not rush this. You will be drilling through the leg at both sides. Mark the hole for the L bracket so that the drop link will be vertical when the car is sitting on the ground. Hence why we jacked up the axel to give a rough idea.
9. Drill thru ensuring you have not hit obstacles such as the bracket for the exhaust. Do this for both sides.

10. Now undo the top of the drop link. Bolt on the L bracket to the legs at both sides, tight, you are done with these.
11. Bolt on the drop links to the L bracket. Do not over tighten these as it will cause a pre stress in the bushes and premature failure.
12. Tighten up the two bolts that connect the anti-roll bar to the drop links.

13. Now you put back on your wheels, remove jack, leave car down, tighten up wheel nuts and admire your handy work.

Thanks for the nice guide! Repped.

My drill couldn't reach through the whole beam though, my chassis got in the way. I'll sort this later with a longer drill :).
