make sure

(1)That you put in the spring insulators back on!
(2)Make sure that you have some WD-40 or Rust eater for tough bolts.
(3)Have the right sockets

right sockets:
12mm
14mm
17mm
deep 17mm
deep 19mm

vise grips (or a real vise) to grip top of rear strut pistons while you turn the nut (this part was a B!TCH B!TCH B!TCH)

hacksaw to cut the bottom section off of all the bumpstops (dont argue, just do it, it can only help when lowering)

have fun
