lots of PB blaster. i ended up having to press in new bushings in the rear since the rear shock mount bolts froze solid inside the bushing. i used all hand tools, few end wrenches, and a ratchet, hammer, and grinder to cut the rear shocks off.

look at the condition of everything first, and see what all you are going to need before you start the project. as far as new bushings, bolts, shocks, ect.

LOL! Don't listen to this guy. Either get some full coilovers, or get a nice spring and shock combo. Ground Controls and Koni Yellows are very popular around these parts. Do some research.
