Not really it is not to hard on this car. The back has 3 14mm bolts on the top of each shock and one bold on the bottom then it is off. The front with 3 14mm on the top and 2 bolts holding it to the hub. Just remember on the front to make sure the brake lines are out of the way. It is easier if you take off the steering arm. When taking off the spring there is just one bolt on the top. Take that off then the spring will come off. That’s about it.

i suggest getting a spring compressor before you kill yourself. Also, i pulled the spring and shock out together and did not have to take out the steering arm. I will say again, and in caps, GET A SPRING COMPRESSOR. I kno a guy who cracked his skull from trying to do it with hand tools.

It is easier if you take off the steering arm.

It is also easier to remove the shock & spring if you first remove the engine, but that's no reason to do it.
