Question Any tips on installing shocks/springs?

A friend and I will be installing new shocks and springs on my Z this weekend. Does anybody have any tips or tricks they learned while doing theirs? Thanks in advance.

I did rear shocks 2 weeks ago, they had the factory shocks still on it. My best advice is to make sure you really lube that lower bolt that holds the shock onto the rear end bracket with P2 Blaster or Liquid Wrench. I needed a breaker bar.

This is what I went through a few weeks ago, while installing my Eibach's:

Don't forget to be extra careful with the compressed stock springs you have to remove. If the spring compressor does not keep it compressed, then there is a chance it might cause some bodily harm.
