The Prius is history. We figured we'd only need a car for a day so we're ditching the idea of a week long rental just to have a car. It'll probably be an Aveo |

Big difference between a 747 and a 757. Indeed, I've ridden both often but have spent more time in the 747 just because the flights over to Korea/Philippines/Germany/Thailand were non stop and had to have the bigger plane |

So if you buy 4 springs, you get a cat? Sweet.

I would let you help because I have never done them. I put some Steedas in the 01 but I had a friend who claimed to have done them before help out and almost cost me a bundle.

Rears are easy, fronts can be a tad more frustrating.

Fronts are nearly as easy. All you need is a pair of jackstands and a floor jack. Hand tools for the control arm bolts.

There are different kinds, MFE has a write up on corral about doing it a certain way that is supposed to be easier, but I have not tried it that way. I did it differently because at the time I didn't know of the way he recommends. I used a spring compressor to compress the spring, and then used a bunch of hose clamps to hold it until it was installed. Not safe at all, and I probably won't use that way again in the future but at the time it was all I could figure out.
