I started with the front since I figured it would be the most tough.

That would be my approach. Get the crappy part done, and then move on to the easy stuff. I assume you spent most of your time on the front end? Where did you place your jack for the front end work? I assume you brought both tires off the ground at the same time?

BTW, Where are you located at in PA?

I put mine up on jack stands

Front was a little time consuming for me all that goddamn turning and spring compressing, won't be so bad putting in the coilovers.

The only thing I hate about unibody is the lack of a frame! I always worry about crunching body work even though I use the designated jacking points.

I always try and push the car off the stands before I start.

Of course with this car you kind of feel like you will dent or break something whaling on it as mentioned by others.

I assume that maneuver is an effort to cause a natural obstruction from drive buys whilst you are wrenching in "Big D"!
