I put on my SLP shocks. A Tech manual has it step by step. But its easy, rear shocks are 2 bolts top and bottom, car suspended and axle hanging. You can pull the springs right out while your there. For the front remove the shock tower bolts and lower bolts on the shock. Pop the upper control arm ball joint from the steering knuckle and yank the coilover out. You'll need a spring compressor, and you might have to cut the shock out the A-arm because the bolt rusts on high mileage cars. Make sure you put the shocks in correctly, so keep an eye on the way they come out, and if anything is missing from the SLP shocks. You know, I should have taken pictures of everything done writeups on install university, I could save myself some typing.

Actually, there are a couple of write-ups on Brent's Install and Fix It page.
