Yes, its a perfect step by step manual if your car only has 2 miles on it. I used that POS install guide off of LS1Howto and this was the very first time I had touched my struts and shocks on my car. Never mentioned ANYTHING about the rusted to hell passenger side strut bolt, nor did it mention the fact that you'll probably have to cut out the endlinks either because they will also be rusted beyond all recognition.
Take it from the guy who jumped in with both feet with just the guide and some tools. Get some type of metal cutting disk, get and impact wrench. Get a breaker bar also. Don't even **** with the endlinks trying to get them off. Just saw those bitches off, and get an endlink kit from Thunder racing... it will save you alot of time and heartache.
Also, Impact wrench will really help you with the rear shocks.
Additionally, don't roll up the carpet. Lower the back seat and you will see some preforations on either side that you can cut through. If you lift those little flaps, then you will see the top of the bolt. Makes it alot easier to adjust later on.
