the backs are the easy part. lol i hate the damn locking nut thing. try wiggling it up and down and then left and right, thats how i always get it off.
you can drive it but be carefull and the handling will be out of balance.
you CAN safely drive with only 4 lug nuts, but get all 5 asap.
give yourself plenty of time to get the fronts done.

When I did my shocks and springs I drove around for 2 days with just the rear done, felt funny but no problems.

do you have a spring compressor for the front? do you have the little tool for the top of the strut?
for the front your going to have to get the struts out and then get the stock springs off and put the new ones one the old struts.
the tricky part is getting the old springs off, you have to get the top part off of the strut. make sure you put the spring compressor on before you take it off, the spring will fly up if you dont.

Tool for the strut? Well I dunno what he's talking about but I just had a bunch of sockets and a hammer along with the PITA spring compresor.

You used a compressor for the back? I didn't, I just dropped the axle then lifted it back up [img]smile.gif[/img]

on the top of the strut or shock theres a nut and a piece the sticks up through the nut it kinda looks like an oval but 2 sides are flat. theres a special socket for that its only like 3 or 4 bucks at a parts store.

I just did my shocks and springs a few weeks ago and I have no idea what you're talking about, LOL!

its on both front and back shock. when you look at them from the top, theres a nut holding them on. that nut screws onto a long shaft. theres a tool that you can use to put on the end of that and then put a wrench on the nut.

like drag coefficient or drag racing? i think it would help drag coefficient, but hurt drag a lil bit due to less weight transfer to the back on launches.
