Default Any Tein SS-P DIY?

Any DIY for Tein SS-P Coilovers out there? I really want to give a shot at doing everything to my car myself and i know its better to get a professional to do it but i'd like to give it a shot. Also if anyone is an experience person at installing coilovers or have done it themselves could i get your your AIM so i could chit chat with you.

Did It Myself here. It's not hard, but if you're not experienced with wrenching on cars, Installation/DIY instructions would be a good idea. It's all bolting/unbolting parts.

Should be almost identical to spring change, fronts are easy as crap but the bolts on the lower control arm in the back are a b!tch.

That's only if you don't have the right angle of attack. Also you have to loosen it from the Bolt side, not the nut side. The nut locks into place, if you didn't notice when you did your installation.
