Cusco install questions

Can anyone point me in the direction or have detailed install on the following:

-Cusco V-brace. (I already installed the rear OS strut bar. I was specifically wondering
what kind of drill to use and what size drill bit and whether or not it is difficult to drill through the trunk floor.)

-Cusco 23mm rear sway bar (Also should I buy new brackets or end links or whatever it's called instead of reusing the stock ones?) Does that make sense?
-Cusco lower arm bar II

Thanks

In regards to installing the V-brace. It does require drilling mivo, We installed one on chris's wrx. Use a drill bit that just fits into the base of the Vbrace bracket holes. Once you do that. look under the car. measure twice and drill once. If you do not feel like doing that. Take it to a local shop. PM me for anymore questions

23mm bar - you can use the stock ones. I am, but they look thin and weak holding up the sway bar. I had my sway bar on for more than a year now with the stock end links and no problems.

Cusco lower arm bar II - just take out the 2 stock bars and bolt it in place with the 5 stock bolts. 5 min job.

Mump, Thanks for the info. I don't have a lot of tools right now where I'm located and needed to make sure about a few things before I go under the car and end up frustrated and with a crick in my neck. Thanks again.
