Default done with the front shocks, how hard are the rears on a fwd?

What a difference, the 130k stock sport shocks were done, the Bilstein sports helped significantly.

What is entailed on changing the rears on a 98.5 fwd?

basically I was wondering how I go about accessing the top mounting nut??

Thanks

Default Not bad

Lift the rear seat bottom, then pull the cushions that are on each side of the seat uppers out.
Then you'll have access to the top nuts of the shock.

I recall there's a tech article on removing the rear decklid, or speakers, or something that details how to remove these parts.
