DO NOT try to unbolt any of the rear control arms unless you want to buy new arms.
What part of town are you in? It's a pretty darn simple suspension to swap out.

Depends, I'd say soak them repeatedly with PB blaster and if you have a propane torch you can heat up the nuts before trying to remove the bolts.bflesher wrote:Fronts are cake, the rears you will most likely have to cut the shock bolts.
Don't start your car on fire doing this though.
The rear shock bolts on mine have never been a problem but then mine have been through something like four suspension swaps so they aren't frozen in place.

Thanks for the responses guys. I'm located in west mankato if you would like to swing by and help possibly. If you do just pm me your number. So I installed one of the fronts tonight and I can't figure out how the Hell that little bar connects to the coilover. The coilover hole is about 1.5" taller than that little bar..

By "taller" do you mean it's too high up on the strut to get the end link through?
