Great write up....so
So from the looks of it, if i was just doing a spring install, there's really only about 3 bolts that hold that strut in. So besides the brake lines brackets, two at the top and one on the bottom?....shiiit, i might just have to pay for this mess

I cringed when i saw that too.... but...
let's cut her some slack. "A" for effort... I didn't even attempt a suspension install for the first couple years of learning to be a shadetree mechanic... and lord knows I did some stupid stuff when I first started working on cars.... like trying to do a rear brake job on an Audi 80 with only a pair of pliers and a c-clamp, destroying the caliper before I realized the piston had to be turned while being compressed.
That said... before anyone else does something like this, it doesn't hurt to STFA and if that doesn't work, ASK!!!
