^^ what i did was i had my car on jack stands, but then i didnt want the rotor part to just hang there for a night without any support so i just put a jack under it.
i dont have a rear sway... maybe i should get one and install it along with the rear springs to save my butt some time!

Just hope you saved enough clips to hold the trunk liner in. I lost a few clips too. Two inside the frame, and cracked two more when removing them. My liner is still in place securely without them. Also, the clips are standard products so if you really needed to, you could get them at an auto body shop or the dealership.

clips will cost you around $1.74 each from the stealership. I just got my 2 clips for the intake arm that holds it with bumper. Total was $3.75 for both including tax......so u might wanna try around bodyshop.

i found my clips! i took the plastic part on the edge of the trunk out (eh...where the hook thing that secures the trunk in place is..) and my clips were behind that thing in the metal frame which has lil holes! and for the other ones i reached my hand down the side of the trunk after taking the trunk liner out and VOILA i have all my clips and nails!
the rear shocks seem to be pretty easy to take off, or not?

Aside from the sway bar problem, which you won't have, they're a little easier to do than the fronts. The trick is getting the bolt out of the control arm (a rubber mallet works well) and then getting it back in (gotta line the holes up and then use the mallet again). I prefer to have a second set of hands to hold the heavy parts in place while I do this, but your floor jack might be almost as good.
