Well, I did it!! A new CEG'er and myself did his rears(he had done his front previously), and all 4 corners on mine. This job is not for the faint of heart, let me tell you.
It took about 10 hours to do all 6. One tip I would give is only use a pickle fork if you absolutely have to. I could push on the lower control arm?(the one with the ball joint on it) by hand. I ended up screwing up the boot on the drivers side. I am going to buy struts, pay to have those put on, and have them replace the boot. My car is been in CA since it was new, so I didn't have any rust issues. The part that probably took the longest was getting the ball joints back in. We didn't use spring compressors
!! It's pretty crazy I know, but we had some cargo straps to hold the spring down so parts didn't go flying that far. All in all, it did go pretty smooth, it was just a lot of work. I am sore all over, and I lift weights so go figure!! Would I do it again? Probably, although it won't be for awhile unless I am getting paid to do it.
Performance wise I haven't had a chance to really go flog it, but there is barely any body roll now. I put H&R's on, and my buddy put Intrax on. His back end sits lower, but he has a 300lb box in the back.
Anybody else who is going to do this mod themselves definitely needs to read and heed Anastazi's write up!!
