rear is easy jack the car up undo the bottom mount on the shocks and put some weight on the axel and the springs shud jst fall out and replace with the new 1's.

front is a bit more tricky. you'll have to take the whole assembly off and use spring commpressors to compress the spring. undo the top mount and replace the springs.

refit the assembly and bobs your uncle, fannys ur aunt and dicks ur ugly cousin. :lol:

why dont you buy a full set-up? you will probs find a nearly new set for cheap and they will most probs have the front setup already on ebay. or have you already got upgraded shocks ?
