re: "...It's also near impossible to remove the spring; I scratched my freshly painted springs all to hell...."

When I changed the springs (put in IPD's overload wagon springs on my '84 and '93 sedans), I ran into a problem doing it on my '84, which had a different exhaust pipe that prevented me from pulling out the spring (the '93 gave no problem). But the "collision tail" (for lack of any better term) -- the thing that conducts rear collision forces to the axle -- on the rear caliper is easily removed without disturbing the caliper. There's simply a bolt on the inner side that you can remove to pull off the tail, and then the spring easily slips out (at least in the case of my '84).
