Words of Wisdom for Coilover Install
So i'm going to be installing my tein's tomorrow and have read up alot on the DIY's here and have a pretty good handle on the install overall.
Just looking for some gotchas that I might run into on the install from ya'll that have already tackled this.
Some of the ones i've already encountered is the pesky bolt removal on installing the rear camber kit.
So AZ'ers, any handy tips you could toss out there would be much appreciated!

Two of the best DIY's available:
This one is from the 2nd Gen area, but the process is virtually identical:

Backseat removal can be a pain. Here are Service Manual scans:

This is Service Manual Scans for Front and Rear damper removal:

Make sure you use an allen wrench of the proper size in the end of the end-link bolt to hold it in place.
If you're re-using the top hats, the info above on Spring removal will be useful. If you have new tophats, just ignore that part.
Pay attention to when you need to load the suspension during install. Use a jack to put pressure on the suspension.
Air tools can be a god send.
