Hey sry to double post but i never really got an awnser about the 2nd thing to do. Budget is 500, springs are like 250+ bushings 60+ rear sway bar cheap=200ish left over. Id rather try to stay in the lower 500 zone.

Changing the wires should be really easy. They simply snap on and snap off with your hands, you don't need any tools or anything. With the spark plugs, you're using a spark plug socket right? They shouldn't break using the right socket as long as you're not using excessive force.

No, i finally got it. The main part was some of the clips were impossible to reach. The plug broke because i had the socket on it crooked.

Rear sway bar, yes.

As far as the springs go, that'll be just fine, I believe those are the same ones I've got.
