I can't physically help you, I'm on the east coast, but I did mine a few weeks ago, I should be able to help with any questions you might have.

Just fallow this its really not as hard as you might think. Only think i would say is make sure you have a breaker bar or impact gun cuz i broke 2 ratchets with a cheater good thing it was Craftsmen.

definitely go buy pb blaster or liquid wrench, you will need it on the two bottom nuts. also, for the pesky nuts that dont want to "break" heat them up with a blow torch and use a breaker bar to get them loose

Good Advice.
Also have a friend help it will make things alot faster. I did it by myself but should of had a friend to help.

Oh your going to need a Coil Spring Clamp for sure don't forget that you can rent one for like 50 dollars at your auto store and you get your money back.

Thanks for the advice guys. I have the f&f type 2 coilovers so do I still need a spring clamp since I don't have to reuse the stock top mounts?
