Yes, that is why donald is no long allowed to touch andy's car. hehehehe. I lost a nut inside andy's chassis. Spent an hour getting that mofo out. oops.

I think if we were really organized and motivated. We could swap out a set of springs at about 45mins a car with a 2-3 person team per car. My mind was too frazzled to come up with a delegation process, but now that I think about it.... if we had people A, B & C we could parrallelize the tasks.

step 1:
A & B - Loosen lug nuts on tires, but do no take off.
C - Jack up car via rear differential & place jack stands underneath subframe

step 2:
C - Jack up front of car and place jack stands up.
A,B - Take tires off

step 3:
A,B - In tandem take off upper control arm, shock/spring off of each side in front
C - Clear out rear trunk: spare tire, insulation to get to shock bolts up top

step 4:
A,B - Remove L,R rear shock/spring assembly
C - Replace spring on front struts

step 5:
A,B - Install front shocks
C - Replace springs on rear shock assemblies

step 6:
A,B - Install rear shocks
C - Torque all bolts on front to correct specs and check A,B front work.

step 7:
C - Torque all rear bolts and check A,B work.
A,B - Inspect all work

step 8:
C - put stuff back in trunk
A,B - put on wheels/tires

step 9:
A - take car off of jackstands
B,C - torque tires
i think you missed a step,
