Here are my thoughts.

Fronts - No problems

Rear - Yes the wheel carrier bolt is truly a pain in the ass. Jack up the arm 1/2 way up, wheel carrier swings in an arc - so this ensures the holes will align. Then Put the bolt in and place a screwdriver between the strut and wheel carrier - wiggle the bolt and screwdriver and push the bolt. Went in no problem.

Other side went in 3 min.

Good Luck Y'all.

Thanks to Bill webspace for the step by step.

Springs - Swift Spec-R
Spacers - 18MM Front 12MM Rear

This is probably the best advice regarding rear springs lol

I just spent 2 hrs doing the rear, and 80 percent of that was spent on getting the m14 bolt in on the driverside. I found the above post, and jacked it up until the hole aligned. Luckily I had a 2nd jack. Passenger side took a few min to get lined up and in. I'll be tackling the fronts tomorrow as that should be pretty straight forward.
