didnt want to start my own thread on this, but got my springs today and my brothers coming home this week to fit my springs and cant wait to fit them. For the rear it looks like jack the rear up, undo 1 bolt on the bottom of the shock, pull out the old spring, put the new 1 in, get somebody to hold up the swing arm thingy up so i can put the bolt back in? is it that easy? fancey doing the rear myself for experiance and to save time
