Help with installing coilovers

I got some coilovers for my car recently and I really have no idea/experience putting them on. Anybody on here experienced with doing that kind of stuff? I'd really like to learn as much as I can about it so if anyone wants to give me a hand with it that would be aaawesome! Thanks

Do you have a 2nd gen CL? I can't tell. I did my fronts in my driveway, super easy. The rears were a bit harder. You have to take out the rear seats, and the end links on the rear sway bar can get in the way of dropping the old ones out and putting the new in.

Edit: i'm also in Brampton. Oups i see you have a 98 CL. I'm sure it's fairly similar to my setup.

Its very easy! With the first Gen you dont have to remove the back seat...its all setup from the trunk.

There is alot of DIY for doing springs and stuff... i didnt install my springs though, my brothers work did.

I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to cars. I'm handy though...i do woodworking and construction. I just followed the DIY for the 2nd Gen CLs and it was fine. You don't really even need air tools. I wouldn't be a huge help is all i'm saying.
