I have fitted my front 5 stud setup with 60mm springs to my cavalier
Need to do the rear now and as I'm outside I don't want to be at it all day
Easiest or quickest way of swapping them

Re: How easy to change rear springs
Undo the bottom shock mount, the spring seat will start flapping about a bit so just depress it and pull the spring out

Re: How easy to change rear springs
I think jacking the rear up will help as it extends the suspension. They should be easy enough to do.

Am I a light sleeper or a heavy sleeper? Well that depends on how much I've had to drink...
