DIY Springs replacement?
I looked at the way the all the coil sit on my non-airmatic and it looks to be like any other cars except for the rear, much more like a truck using Shocks instead of struts.
The rear should be extremely easy I have not disassemble the front but it don't look hard either.
I have access to a full body shop and spring compressors. I'm probably going to be doing this myself since I have DIY springs on my last 4 cars.
Anyone would recommend against it?

Don't worry about the brakes, the job does not interfer with the brakes. Done it myself and no probs at all, you sound like a experienced diy so go for it. Save 300.00 on labor for other mods plus I know it's done right. Money can't buy piece of mind.

yah allignment is already a must. I'm dropping in H&R 1.5 front and 1.3 in back, I hope they can do something about the camber. 19" tires are got damn too expensive to be replacing every 6 months.

I poked around Car labs and don't recall seeing front and rear, I believe they only have the fronts
