Installing Bilstein PSS9 coilovers... Need Help!

Whats up everyone,

I am trying to install a set of Pss9 coilovers on my 04' 3.0. I figured out how to install the front end but I dont know where to start on installing the rears. Can someone tell me how to do this? A link to a write up with pictures would be great.

Getting to the trunk bolts for the top of the shock will be different for the coupe then the roadster but you get the idea. Basically unbolt the control arm bolt, freeing the shock. Push down on the control arm (e-brake off) and pry out the stock spring, insert the spring from the PSS9 kit and adjustment components. Unbolt the top shock bolts and take out the stock shock, replace with the PSS9 components and bolt everything back together.

I actually ran into this today, totally not on purpose. It takes a long time to get to the shock bolts, you have to take out a lot to get to it, not for the faint of heart as mentioned in the post.
