installing shocks and springs

Well, on Sunday, some of my friends and I will be installing my new 350z tokico hp shocks and 350z H tech springs. Before we get started, is there anything that we may run into that others have had problems with? My friends are good at this type of stuff but have never worked on suspension on a g35 before. I just want this to go as smooth as possible. Everyone has differing oppinions on whether or not to cut the bump stops in half on the rear as well. What's your best recommendation? My car is pretty low right now bc the idiot I bought the car from cut the springs. The ride is actually fine but I'm at about 91k so I decided it was time to swap all of this junk out. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

The install of the springs and shocks is pretty straight forward. Front is a little more difficult then the rear but if you and your friend aren't rock heads you both should have it done within a few hours.

Yes! Just make sure you have all the tools listed in the DIY and get an alignment within a week to 10 days....Good Luck!

A couple of friends and I swapped springs on an 04 coupe yesterday and it took right at 2 hours. We had a couple of random issues that popped up or it would have taken even less. If you don't have any seized or rusted nuts you should be in for a fairly easy job.
