Hey everyone, I just finished my springs two nights ago.

I lifted both sides, undid the shock bolts, and away I went. If you lift both sides, there's no need to mess with the sway bar at all.

I found that not only were the old springs a few millimeters shorter than the new ones, but there was a difference SIDE to SIDE!
Also, the new springs have 9 coils, where the old ones have 8. They're standard height springs from fcp groton, and now my rear suspension feels more solid and healthy than ever.

Thanks for the help, and I wish I had replaced them at the same time as the shocks.

-Will
