Koni/strano install I originally was going to pay a shop to do the install but after some nonsense from them I decided to do it myself. I've read the how to's, watched videos etc.
Other than being careful with the spring compressors (which since I bought new moog mounts I don't need to compress the old ones), is there anything else I need to be really aware of?
And what's the best way to get the torq bolts off that are under the master cylinder? I'm a little concerned about messing with it.
Thanks

All I did was loosen the nuts on the master cylinder. There is no reason to break any lines or even move the cylinder off of the studs. It is only to wiggle it so you can put the Torx 50 bit on the bolt. Then I put an adjustable wrench to hold it and loosened it that way. It takes a while but using a dogbone ratchet wrench or small open wrench did not give me enough leverage to break the torque.

Quick update, i'll post pictures when I get a chance.
Got them all installed with the strano sways and holy ****, what a difference. They went on fairly easy, having new strut mounts made it a lot easier. They fit w/o any issues. Car is 26.5 all the way around, looks awesome
Thanks for the help everyone

Stranos and konis have definitely been my favorite mod to my car since I bought it. All the go fast goodies are great and all but bringing the car lower to the ground just gives it a much better look and feel when driving.
