I had a few hours to kill this afternoon so I started to investigate how hard the install will be. I took one side apart in the front but I had a hard time removing the strut from the spindle. Im not sure that I don't have to remove it completely. Also is there recommended points to put jack stands? I know the jacking points for the Jack are on the sides..

Put the jack stands at the jacking points behind the front wheels. Lift car from the center (front) jacking point under the engine - you'll see the jack pad there if you look and no one scraped it off. You'll need the jack to lift the suspension into place again to bolt it down, you want it seated properly before tightening the bolts.

Need anymore tips PM me

I didn't realize there was a center jacking point. Do you happen to have a picture of it? The whole bottom is covered with plastic panels and I don't want to put it in the wrong place.

Thanks!
