The rears are a breeze...the struts could challenge your religion. Take a Saturday and you should be fine.

the reason i asked was i helped my buddy on his 01 sat and before i got there he had started the spring project on the rears and i seen the shocks there and he said i spent and hour pulling interior and still never found the stud for it. the fronts werent back except the master cylinder moving it and having a spring compresser really helped. im planning on making my mostly drag use and was curious if anyone uses the qa1 or strange stuff. this stuff is big in my world of heads up drag racing and dont see it mentioned much here for drag use, but most are having trouble hooking the cars up. i dont think i will have an issue with a few bolt ons...
