be carefull with wishbones the non OEM ones can be abit hit and miss, allot cheaper yes but can fail quite quick, one of mine went after 2 months driving. Its a b***h of a job but can be done in a couple of hours DIY. Not sure about the 180 but image there the same just a bit beefer.

Car up on stands and chocked, wheels off, unbolt the balljoint socket at the rear of the hub, split the balljoint, undo the 2 bolts on the subframe, pull the wishbone towards you and rotate towards the back of the car..
Refitting is pretty much the reverse, push the new wishbone into place, sometimes the rear bolt wont line up straight away so get the front one lined up and pop a bolt through the subframe to hold it into place and then rotate the wishbone towards the front of the car until the rear bolt holes line up too, put the bolts in and tighten them to the correct tourqe.
Use a breaker bar to lower the wishbone down low enough to pop the balljoint back into it's holder on the hub, pop the bolt back in, check everything is nice and tight, refit wheel and lower the car back down.
The hardest part is probably getting the balljoint back in, as this can sometimes be a PITA! Clean everything up while you have the chance and it's off the car, also clean the balljoint holding hole on the hub it'll make getting the balljoint back in there alot easier!

Splitting it isnt too bad, as you say a splitter and a hammer does the trick lol, it's getting them back in, they sometimes don't want to play fair and be effers! lol

i got a pair for 50quid off fleabay, no idea of the quality but guess will find out when its on the road again...
but took me about 25mins a side, and replaced track rods aswell....
pretty easy done aslong as you have a big breaker bar and something to lever the new arms down as theyr a pain in the hoop....
