are you going to have help?...honestly it will take all day if you have hand tools...and you should do shocks and struts at the same time so you don't have to tear the suspension apart...and you need to get an alignment...me and my cousin tried to do my car ourselves with handtools....it was pretty hard to get out 6 year old suspension parts...but then we started at like 8 pm in his garage and we didn't even have a 2 ton jack...so those and air tools would help...or a lift if you have access to one...try PMing amricnidyot...i think i spelled it right...he did his own springs

well i meant it was a lot of work to do with hand tools and not a heavy duty jack...at night time...in a garage instead the driveway...i think i could have done it with more time...also that was the biggest job i have tried to tackle on my car....i'm better with electrical lol

FYI go to mustangworld first for any how-to then ask elsewhere. they have lots of tips and how-tos on there. BTW its a pretty good how to cause its the one I used for my eibachs. just make sure to replace ur snubber, it comes with the springs. not in the how to.
