Default Spring Install ? for all that has done it themselves.

for those who has done there own install on the lowering springs, I have 1 question for you guys.....on the rear instal do you have to take all the covers inside of the trunk off inorder to unbolt the struts for the back? or is it just from the bottom of the strut to the body without having to deal with all the trunk covers? thinking about doing it my self..the front looks pretty simple and the back is probably as easy but I was just wondering that. any help would be great. thanks in advance..

you have to....otherwise, how are you going to take the shock+spring out? There are two bolts on each side that you have to take out.

you should not have to take anything out in the outside wheelwells.. just the inside trunk panels. good luck!

I removed my trunk panels, but I just loosened the wheel well panels.
