Here are a few more:
I ended up buying a low profile jack and jacked the front up from the front center jack point, I just wasn't comfortable getting the front of the car up from the rear jacking points like the DIY suggested. Also, you will need inserts in the jack points to rest the jack stands, I made mine from cutting up pieces of a hockey stick.
When I say you can remove the strut tower brace, I thought I needed to remove the cowl assembly.. you do not. Just unscrew it (you'll need star sockets) and you can simply move it out of the way, instead of actually unbolting the entire thing.
Also, step 11, don't bother with undoing one of the line brackets on the shock assembly (I didn't even have that bolt like the picture) just unclip the lines, there is plenty of slack to lower the hub assembly.
