Slykin - Burning out the bushings wasn't too bad. Messy though. I just took my propane torch and worked it around the bushing and got it burning really good to melt the rubber, then I took a piece of wood I had laying around and pushed them out. The first one went rolling across the driveway putting rubber all over. Two Hints, I had a 55 gal drum end that I leaned some scrap plywood on to stop the roll and keep a bucket of water handy, once they pop out they engulf in flames. The water or hose puts it all out. Once they were done, I used a sanding roll in my die grinder to clean up the shell. For the bushings I used some glyde lube or whatever NAPA calls it and they slid right in.
Mikey94 - If it was my car I would have thought more about the lowering springs, but yes they are a pain, especially when they start to spin during that last 2 when bringing them up.
