Install of.....Tokico D specs, FRPP springs, panhard bar, bump steer kit?
Lol well it's not very hard. I pulled my springs and struts out and put new springs in + the panhard in 2 hrs. Haven't played with a bump steer kit yet.
The fronts arent too bad....(4) 10mm bolt on the top of strut tower (which are under the hood) that hold the strut in place. Then two bolts that tie the strut tower to the rotor and brake assembly, plus another 10mm bolt that holds the break lines to the strut tower....and the strut tower pulls right out.
Next, rent a spring compressor and compress the front springs off, replace the with the new springs then repeat the steps stated above to put the struts and springs back in.
For the rears just drop the sway bar, and put jackstands under the rear frame of the car. Place the jack on the rearend housing and unbolt the rear shocks. Once they are lose lower the rear end down via the jack and pull the springs out. Replace with new springs and repeat steps the process to bolt everything back together.
Its easy and will save ya 300-400.

If you have a vert, you need to take off the support arms that go from the spare tire well to the rocker arm, otherwise you cannot lower the rear enough to get the springs out.

Not when I did mine... the sway bar does nothing to keep the rear end up... the shocks are what you have to disconnect to get the rear end to drop enough to pull the springs out.
