Default Pics for you of what you'll be dealing with.....
nasty nasty threads with road gunk.

Get good jackstands from CT, and a nice floor jack. I got 4 stands and a 3 ton jack for 135 + tax on sale.

It'll take couple hours, especially due to the rears. Very little room to turn the wrench around back there.

Ride is smoother, dampening....can't tell if there's a difference. Shouldn't be if it's linear in nature....

Default not by hand dude, you need the spanners that come with the specific coilovers you're using. What..
kind of suspension do you have?
