ok i got my springs in the mail and im scared to install these things....the front look pretty easy to install but the back, how the hell do u get the strut towers out? do u have to do that in the back to replace the springs i heard theres alot to go through taking off the brake lights and wiring harness and such...i have an st hatchback so im not sure if its the same as the coupe could someone give me some detailed info on how to do this because the how to is very confusing and poorly written i think

have jack stands, jack, impact gun. air compressor, 12mm socket, 3/4 inch wrench, and 3/4 impact socket...jack car up, put jack stands under, take off wheel, use 3/4 wrench around strut bottom (theres 2 nuts), put wrench on one side, use impact gun on other side. take off nuts, next is nut that holds brake line, use 12 mm socket to take off, move brake line, open trunk or hatch, 3 more nuts that hold strut, they are inside that plastic cover. take those 3 out. next push wheel down, should be able to free up room to take strut assembly out. remove top nut of assembly, be careful, nut flys off due to the spring, use impact gun, much easier to get off. take parts out but remember the order it goes in. and reverse the process on new strut and put in reverse order.
