The rrs are easy but the fronts are a bear. This is because the the bolts holding the frt sway bar "straps" are too long to be removed WITHOUT dropping the front subframe down to gain the requisite chassis clearance.
The procedure is to loosen the 2 frt subframe bolts, remove the 2 rr bolts and gently pry the subframe down so you have enough clearance to get the bolts out. If you ever have to do this job again, you'll do what I did and cut approx. .5" off the end of the 2 offending bolts. Then the next time you won't have to worry about the subframe.
Also, you should be aware that the nut/bolt interface for the subframe often gets rusty and the nuts are blind. So you can end up with the situation where the bolts are turning and so are the nuts. At this point you're screwed unless you want to cut a hole in the chassis to secure a wrench on the nut(s).
Have fun!
