The rear require that the springplates come off, so do rear bushings for sure. You can do the fronts tbars without removing the a-arms, but having seen how the bushings on my 130000mi '85 looked last weekend, I'd do it now, but there isn't any real penalty if you wait, unless you're going to have the car professionally corner balanced after putting the new bars in. If you're going to use a stock style front swaybar, but heavier (ie the late Carrera one) then I'd do the shebang as a package, b/c it isn't easy to change out the factory style bar with the a-arms both in place

Removal of the a-arms isn't as big a deal as you might think, just rmove the ball joint pin and the 5 bolts holding in the arm, after removing the torsion.
