I am real fast now!!!!!
Let me tell you what. After about 5 times removing the back struts, I can start from jacking the car up to having new springs on the car in about 20 minutes. I know the insides and out of my rear suspension. Just ordered a rear upper strut to go with my Koni's in the rear. Going to order my front koni's next week. Just thought I would share.

Rep Power: 416 maybe it depends on the springs cause i had to use a spring compresser to get the rear neuspeeds on. neuspeed springs are LONGER then stock. i most lowering springs are shorter then stock ones so that you dont need a spring compresser tho. reason why neuspeed made it as long as/longer then stock was so the springs wouldn't fall out of place when the car is raised...

I had a shabby one as well but I did have access to air tools! So, it took about 30 seconds to compress each one! Thats the way to go.
All in all, I've done coilovers and springs. I prefer installing coilovers but springs are just about as easy now for me. It took me about 2 hours to install the rear konis including setup and cleanup.
