I did the same job last night too. The first one took 2 hours. The second one took 30 minutes.

etachu, did you install the big round foam insulator doughnut that goes on the top of the coil spring? You can see the old one it the picture. Are you really in Nigeria?

I finished up, replaced stabilizer bar links and rubber mounts (easy work) and took it for a test drive. Its like a new car. So much better.
