Default Sway Bars?

Decided not going to waste the cash for strut bars...since I'm starting out small i decided to go with Eibach anti-sway bars (front and back) Its not to much of a price difference and ....well from what I'v heard , sway bars seem to have more of a effect then strut bars. I heard you can feel the difference a little more, not much but enough to invest some extra cash. But what I'm a little worried about is ground clearence!!!! I have to say, I have never installed sway bars before ( I wouldn't think it would be to hard...pretty basic)
But I was wondering if anyone has had experience installing sway bars? How long for the install...hour? hour and a half?
And what about the ground clearence??????? if I end up with coil overs in a month or two...are the sway bars going to be an issue as far as ground clearence...(dam speed bumps?)
Just wondering...if any body has any suggestions or comments ...please let me know!
Trying to order them ASAP!

Sway bars shouldn't decrease your ground clearance at all (they won't lower your ride, just make it more resistant to body lean in the corners.) It should be relatively straightforward (a couple of bolts, maybe 4 on the main center section of the sway bar, then a single bolt on each side at each attachment point near the spindle.

I'd say an hour tops for each end (front/rear)
