Before
After
The Front
So I started with the front springs. All in all not a problem. EXCEPT one Stabilizer bar end-link. I accidentaly stripped part of it so I couldn't get it off. But with the right tools anything is possible and I was able to get it off.
Once that end link was off and the nuts on the top of the strut were removed, the whole assembly came right out.
The two springs Side By Side
Now the back.
Afer a LOT of wiggling, jiggling and yelling obscenities, I got the rears out.
Thats about it for now.
It doesn't look all that different now but once the springs had time to settle there is a noticable difference.
This is the End-link that I messed up. It is a little fuzzy but you get the idea.
With the spring compressor I was able to tear down the strut pretty easily.
New TRD springs in the front
To get the rear shocks out I had to completly gut the trunk of the car.
This is the bolt i had so much trouble with. I ended up taking the car to a local shop to have them loosen it up for me.
