I sprayed all-purpose cleaner in the engine bay and rinsed it down. I also used an air compressor to spray off the standing water and most of the water in the engine bay. I removed the battery before hand and made sure that the alternator/ABS/air filter were covered. I also rotated the tires. My tires are getting camber wear so I'll need to get those Godspeed camber arms installed asap.
Also, the front right suspension is making bad creaking noises. I found the culprit.
It turns out that rubber housing that covers the shock is torn up and rubbing on the bump stop. If I remove this, I'll end up installing the springs. Haha.
It's like my car is forcing me to install the springs and camber arms.

Fin!!!
I did everything myself and started at 4:30pm til 8:30ish. The fronts were a breeze to install. The rear springs took a bit longer bc there were more to move around. I also didn't need to remove the swaybar linkage bc I was able to remove the springs by compressing them using the spring compressors. The camber arms were the worst! Removing and installing those two upper bolts are very tedious bc those bolts have so much pitch in the thread. It took forever removing and reinstalling those bolts.
I couldn't take pics of what I did on the back bc it was very dark out and it was getting late so I had to rush.
The front shock sleeves are busted.
I'll order a pair soon.

THanks man. Honestly, when I saw the tires wearing out from the bad camber, I had to install the arms right away. And since I needed to install those, I might as well install the Tanabes the same time. haha.
