The only hang-up is that you need a 17mm socket with a hex head to be able to remove the bolts on the top of the front strut towers... I didn't have one, so I just bought a cheap 17mm socket and welded a big-ass nut on the end. Voila
Hex Head???? I used a socket and ratchet

It is easy tho as J-Ro says. I changed the rear springs on Galaxy~Si's car in 30 minutes. Took me couple hours to do all 4 of mine and 11 dollars for a spring compressor which is only needed for the front springs. Shops near me gave me prices from 180 to 300 which was too much money for me. I also went and got the Skunk2 camber kit
