Thanks for the info. I'm ashamed to admit I'm not doing the work myself. I just don't have the provisions. Currently looking for a house w/garage. Montgomery County real estate market FTL.

Thanks for the offer! But my car us under the knife right now.

If my setup doesn't turn out satisfactorily I may want to swap some springs, in which case I may come knocking...

Ok so you guys it's way easier to remove all the panels, but yet it takes you longer than the actual suspension work? Just try it my way, it's really not that hard. Just make sure you have a deep 14mm socket and one of these (see below) breaker bars. You'll be able to get to all three of the top bolts without ANY problem.
