swift spring installation this weekend, tips?

Guys, is there any surprises or tips that I should be aware about for this weekend activity? Pictures would be great.

I could not find any pictured thread for this search.

Exciting, Thanks!

No it's pretty straight forward, you will have some difficulty in getting the back strut bolts on the rear struts, but it's not that bad.

Just make sure all the springs, perches, and rubber upper mounts line up correctly.

^ To add on to the above, I never pulled the trunk separator cover, so I got the rear two with a gearwrench, and the front two with a deep socket and air wratchet.
