03 GT vert shock install ??'s

[gtvertsoon]

This weekend, I will be installing the tokico HP spring/shock kit on my 03 GT vert. I was looking around the past few days to get aquainted with the bottom of my car and was wondering where the tops of the rear strut mounts are? I looked in the trunk for a place to pull out the liner but it seemed pretty stuck in place. Looking from underneath, the mounts seem too low to be in the trunk. Do the shocks/struts (whatever) bolt on from below or what? I just want this install to go pretty smoothly so I can get it all done in a timely fashion. Any suggestions or comments?

*Cliff notes*: Does anyone have a tutorial on spring/shock install? (not just springs, I've found plenty of those)

it's in the trunk. you have to yank the trunk liner out of the way, and be carefull that liner can crack.

That blows. I'm assuming I have to take out the top part directly below the vert top first? I've tried taking out the trunk panels before and it seems impossible. This may be the worst part of the install. Might have to head out to my car some day this week and start tearin ***** up.

they are clipped in on some parts so try to slide them back and forth to geth them loose. I cracked my last set of liners in the GT, after i put them back in it was unnoticable
