^^ what i did was i had my car on jack stands, but then i didnt want the rotor part to just hang there for a night without any support so i just put a jack under it.

i dont have a rear sway... maybe i should get one and install it along with the rear springs to save my butt some time!

 

pic pic! too bad it was on a driveway, but u can see the reduced fender gap

 

Ahh, makes sense. Up to you is you want to get a sway bar, but you're really not saving yourself anything more than a few pumps of the jack, since you wouldn't be able to install it until you're done with the springs anyway. But a rear sway bar will improve the handling 20 times more than the springs will.

 

man the trunk liner is sooooo hard to take off.... i tried to pop those clips but i lost a couple when pushing the center nail in... they probably fell into the frame somewhere....... wut can i do?

pic of the fender gap

 

Just hope you saved enough clips to hold the trunk liner in. I lost a few clips too. Two inside the frame, and cracked two more when removing them. My liner is still in place securely without them. Also, the clips are standard products so if you really needed to, you could get them at an auto body shop or the dealership.

 

clips will cost you around $1.74 each from the stealership. I just got my 2 clips for the intake arm that holds it with bumper. Total was $3.75 for both including tax......so u might wanna try around bodyshop.

 

i found my clips! i took the plastic part on the edge of the trunk out (eh...where the hook thing that secures the trunk in place is..) and my clips were behind that thing in the metal frame which has lil holes! and for the other ones i reached my hand down the side of the trunk after taking the trunk liner out and VOILA i have all my clips and nails!

the rear shocks seem to be pretty easy to take off, or not?

 

Aside from the sway bar problem, which you won't have, they're a little easier to do than the fronts. The trick is getting the bolt out of the control arm (a rubber mallet works well) and then getting it back in (gotta line the holes up and then use the mallet again). I prefer to have a second set of hands to hold the heavy parts in place while I do this, but your floor jack might be almost as good.

 

what does it mean by "cutting bump stops" in the instruction

 

why doesn't the green spring go into the black plastic.......

 

Looks like they are upside down.

 

is the side that is more "dense" supposed to be on the top or bottom? like the side with the coils closer to each other... i put that side as bottom.

 

Other way around.

 

heres what mine looks like.... i already drove it today... is it really wrong?

 

Hard to tell from that pic but this 1st pic you posted doesn't look right. The spring should fit well just lik ethe OEM springs did.

I know that on my springs, H&R, one end was slightly smaller and was the top.
