hey the rear springs, u dont have to remove the bolt from the arm!!!!!!!! just use spring compressors that are made from the rear springs, they slide up thru the hole of the arm, inside of the spring, then tighten to compress then they slide out, use the same on a 3 series last month. when i get a chance to do mine, i will post pics of the actual compressor, but auto zone, should know exactly which ones to use, and u can rent from them also.

I did my painting of the grille for just S$50. However, its not a very good work done though. A better work would cost S$150. But I'm fine with the S$50 one. I think all DIYs should be consolidated for members' convenience. The DIY interior lights removal and license plate lights too.
