Ok, finally got the rears done, after 8 hours in my driveway on Sunday.

All I can say is 'Wow'. What a difference. It's like a whole new car. Anybody thinking of this, do it!

Just don't do it yourself. :D I'm still hurting. All my bolts were seized in the hubs, so I had my friend at his shop loosen them first (while he was replacing a grenaded wheel bearing on the back passenger side). Went the spring compressor route rather than unbolting the lower control arm from the hub, and that is what took so long. About 3 hours per side to get the springs back in. Both rear springs were broken in the lower control arm, and the passnger side spring was broken in the upper perch as well. They came out alot easier than the new ones went in! :lol:

Shocks are nothing to change. Two bolts. I also put new end links on ($16 a piece from Partsource for TRW). Huge difference right there, with them having urethane bushings versus rubber.

All in all, very happy with the new setup. Makes me love my car again. :wub:

Now time for tires! :lol:
