Is it just as easy as bolting on or is there more to it?
The rear springs are bolt on. The front springs require a spring compressor. If you’re not comfortable using them, you can unbolt the springs as an assembly and take them to a mechanic/shop who can swap the springs (good time to put in new struts so you don’t pay labor twice)

rear shocks are leaking. i will eventually replace the front struts as well.
i dont want to lower the height my daughter drives the car in houston. the pot holes and speed bumps can be bad, i dont want a super stiff ride she is not racing the car just a daily driver for work and school.

been recommended Bilstein b6 what am reading its a stiff ride.
anyone have recommendations that are better than factory mushy are the Bilstein's the way to go for what i want
