Rears are easy. Fronts can be a lot of work depending on what you are using to compress the springs. Getting the assembled strut back in was kind of a PITA too. Also you might break an end link or two.

The bolts are rusted to hell, guess I'll need to break out the torch. We are going to put the headers in first while we are waiting on the other parts to arrive.
