If i were to do it again. I would get a second set of hats and assemble every thing ahead of time.
then the install would be as easy as 1 bolt at the bottom and 2 nuts at the top.

Get a heat torch heat up any bolt you are taking off it will make life alot easyer.. MOst common bolt to break is the rear lower take your time on that one and heat it up well, and just before you start to undo it hit it a couple times just to move it a bit..

Now for the springs do not take of the springs unless your springs are compressed (or you will take your head off). At crapy tire they have a loan a tool wich is free (you just have to pay for it and get your money back when you bring it back) its called strut compression tool.

Hope this helps you out a bit..

Doing this today on my G3

Definately get before you start:
WD-40
Air Tools
patience - this is key if you have a temper
replacement lower control arm bolts that go through the bottom of the strut.
drill
titanium drill bits for when you break the MOTHERFAWKING control arm bolts
patience
beer
torch

This is definately more of a pain in the *** than I originally thought. Luckily my local honda dealer had the bolts in stock....and only 2 of em.
