    I have a set of Drop Zone springs I am dieing to get in. I know how to do the fronts but the rears I will have a problem with. So does anyone have pictures and/or instructions to help me. I don't want to start taking stuff off and be screwed not being able to get it back on. The other thing is would i require a spring compressor or would I be able to get the springs off with out killing myself, lol? Thanks for any help.

    Yeah you're gonna need a spring compressor. Always use a spring compressor. Always. Better safe than sorry!

    Other than that, you'll need to remove a majority of the interior panels in the trunk.

    Other than that its just like the front.

    Hmmmm I haven't done my tc yet, and last tc I did was about 1.5 years ago, but I do remember removing the carpet, the side carpet, and I think any trim up to the rear seat. I can't be for sure without looking, and it being 12:40 am by me I'm not making a special trip outside from my bed lol!

    The whole r&i is not difficult at all. Anything you remove has a special place and won't fit any other way. As far as special instructions go, just don't lose any panel clips cuz then pieces will end up being loose upon reinstallation.
