MAN!!! I'm finally done! The rear's gave me the most problem! I had the worst time trying to take the suspension out once it was all unbolted. When I moved the rear end link brackets out of the way, that finally made room for the spring to come out. After that was done, trying to put that bracket back in was a BITCH!!! I spent at least 45 minutes trying to bolt it back on. I have some more pics, but photobucket is not working..so i'll show you guys later. thanks for all the help.

man, my arms and back are aching right now, but the car is lowered and looks nicer than before. When working on the last suspension, i took everything out, and put everything back in, and thought i was done. While getting ready to drop my car back down, i noticed a small spacer that goes in between the strut and metal cap. DOHH!!! I forgot one small piece and now I have to take EVERYTHING out again. Like starting all over again. here's some pics.





and here's a pic of the rear bump stop.. it looks a bit different from the front ones though. I was able to pull the bump stops off the piston to cut one notch off it
