installing RB springs

They will be here in a few days. I am probably in the 50th percentile as far as home mechanics go. I have a strut compressor and have never used it.

Is this something I should apemt at home you think? I have the tools. Any expierence, tips and advice would be great. I searched and found no helpful info.

thanks Guys

It isn't too difficult. Rears are easy, fronts are a little harder. Having the Mazda Workshop manual would be useful.

You can leave the ABS sensor in the front upright if it doesn't come out easily. Some have said that disconnecting the sway bar helps, but I didn't try that when I did mine. I don't think the sway bar matters if you have the whole front of the car lifted, but if you lift one wheel at a time it would seem to make a big difference.

Don't kill yourself. Be careful with the springs.
