Changing Springs & Struts on “SE”
How difficult is it to change the four original springs to Eibach springs and Tokico (blue) struts?
Also, how difficult is it to change all of the front bushings (i.e., control arm bushings, tie rod boot, front & rear end link bushings, sway bar bushings, tension rod bushings and ball joints)?
Any tricks to performing this work (i.e., tools or things to look for) ?
Thanks!!!

It's not to hard,just plan a weekend in time to do it.Tools needed are simple hand tools,spring compresor,jack stands, a torch comes in handy to get the rear bushings out,a ball joint splitter and tie rod fork make life easier too.Just soak the nuts and bolts down with some penetrating oil daily for about 5 days before hand and book an allingment after.
