Yeah, I just decided when I have time (shooting for the 17th) i'm just going to do it myself by lowering the arm and pulling the shock out with the mount. I have new lower mounts so don't need to even worry about getting the nut off.

I went ahead and ordered all new hardware for the front since I already have FCP's warranty. This way I can assemble everything without removing the fronts from the car and can just pop them in when the fronts come out.
