I just bought Tokico HP shock for both front and rear. Right now I have stock shock and intrax lowering spring (spring was install professionally). I am planing to change the shock by myself (with a couple of friends) this coming weekend so I want to know if anyone have done it by themselves and can you tell me in detail of the process.

I know that the front one is not going to be much of a trouble...i hope, but as far as I'm concern the rear is where all the trouble are . If you can tell me exactly how to remove the rear seat and change the the process of changing both front and rear suspension(like remove strut etc). I have every tools needed including spring compressor.

Thank you in advance...and looking forward not to bounce around!!!

changing the back shocks is the biggest pain in the ***... first you need to pull off the bench of the rear seat.. play with it a lil and you'll find where the clips are... i dont remember exactly, then you pull of the back part of the seats, and then you pop off the sub woofer rear brake light area.. you should be able to see it over there. I aint no mechanic. I just witnessed it on my car.. BTW gettin to back ones to fit is a pain, especially for KYBs for some reason.. good luck

A while ago I was talking to one the techs and he said inorder to get access to one of the bolts the rear axles would need to be removed. So you might want to ask aroudn about that before getting the rest of the LS apart.
