Heres a tip which will save you lots of time on the rear spring/strut removal... Goto Post #9 for a picture of the hack/work around/shortcut. Saves you from having to remove and reinstall the rear axles.

"We found it to be much quicker and easier to do the rear by disconnecting the rear camber eccentric bolt. If you do this, you don't need to remove the lower ball joint, you don't have to pry the control arm, you don't have to remove the axle and you don't have to remove the brake calipers." -- John V
