Just got my Megan Coilovers
For people who have them - how long from start to finish on the install? Should I plan a day or is this something I can finish in a few hours at night?

I had a shop put mine on, and that took three days (LONG story on that...posted here a few weeks ago).
I believe Schnitz installed his in around 6-7 hours, and I've heard others on the board install the coilovers themselves in less than a day.
If you do them yourself, just make sure you know what you're doing. Your suspension is definitely not something you want to screw up. If you've got all the know-how, then by all means go for it.
Better to take your time and get it right the first time

Average about 4 hours.
Tips:
Make sure both tires are off the floor of the side you're working on, front or rear.
Remove the front upper arm to make removing the front struts easier.
For the rear, it takes a lot of twisting and finding the exact angle to remove the rear struts.
That's all i can think of.

Gonna pull the backseat out tomorrow - Hope this isn't too much of a pain.
I can install them by raising the front (doing the fronts) and then raising the backs, right? Or should I have the car off all 4s when doing this and setting the coilovers?
What is the hardest part of the install?

Just removed the back seat. Took about 15min. Thought it'd be harder. Simply pulled on the bottom seat which clicked out and then removed the bolts, lifted up on the back part which then popped out.
Found some old Film under the seat, kind of creepy.
