They're easy also. I can do the fronts in 1 hour time and that's taking a lunch break to eat and watch TV for several minutes. Hell i changed out my ball joints myself today and it took me almost 20 mins doing that and i was taking my time. Didn't have to take the springs out but i still had to take the wheels, rotors, calipers, unbolt struts, tie rods,unbolt balljoint and move spindle to the side. I left the sway bar on to help hold the a arm up, plus i had a jack under it for safety. car is on jackstands. Remove the almost new balljoints for the Steeda balljoints, trying to raise my spindle alittle more...
You appreciate things more when you do it yourself, plus now if a friend needs help you can help them out now. Good luck with the front.
Yeah, i've done my saleen alone probably 6-8 times (fronts) for different things, people will ask me why is my car on jack stands all the time, i just tell them i'm changing,cleaning, or fixing something. I've done about 5 other cars on springs install, and did it on my 95 GT about 3 times, 1st time took me about 2 hours, taking my sweet time and was kept thinking i didn't want a spring to go through my chest...never have used a spring compressor....
