For the front...

Start by removing the 3 nuts on the strut tower, inside the hood.

Jack the car up (both sides)

remove the brake lines (2 screws)

There will be 2 bolts at the bottom of the shock, I think you have to remove a bolt from the upper controll arm to get the assembly out

Use a spring compressor to get the springs off.


Hope this helps, I am going from memory. I put my springs in about a year ago.

remove the nuts on the shock tower inside the trunk, you will need to pull up the cloth stuff to get to them

Then there is a bolt on the bottom of the strut.

That should be it, the hardest part is to get the bolts off.
