I have found a guide on Hotchkis website on how to install the anti roll bars but i have a few questios.

In the guide they mention transmission/coolant lines, are they referring to clutch fluid and engine coolant?

It's just that a few other people on the American forums mention disconnecting power steering lines, so now i am a bit confused, do i disconnect transmission, coolant and power steering, disconnect one of the above or something totally different?

Also if i use their method of the rear anti roll bar, would it make sense to remove the rear shocks and springs before dropping the rear end to get the rear anti roll bar out? Do i need to fully drop the rear end to change the rear bushes or can i drop it but support it with jacks and axle stands like in their guide and change the rear bushes okay?

pay someone and get it done right, you are asking questions on this one that would suggest it better to get it taken somewhere to do properly and then makesure the setup is right

Stig, i'm sure i am capable of doing the job correctly, and i will get the car setup properly afterwards. It's just that i'm sure its power steering lines in the picture but mentions transmission/coolant lines. I just want some clarification that's all.

You dont have any transmission lines. Cant really see why you need to disconnect any coolant lines either. Just take off the 2 PAS cooler lines, then drop the front of the subframe down.
