my friend and i have already installed the roush springs on the front but when we went to the back we got kinda confused.... i have a 2000 cougar and was wondering how in the world do u get to the bolt on the top of the back strut towers????? there is like 1 mm of room for tools maybe i am just missing something???

You don't get it from the trunk. Look up inside the wheel well. You have to remove the entire bracket that the strut is connected to. I think it's like two or three bolts.

You should have gotten instructions with the springs. it is quite detailed as to what is needed. There are two bolts holding the plate up in there.

Can those springs be put on without any special tools? I have a wrench set, the car jack, and a lot of time. Or do I need an air compressor or something.

Are you strong enough to compress them yourself?

lol

Get a spring compressor, they are cheap (Like 20 bucks). Unless you can compress a spring that normally requires a thousand or so pounds of force to compress...

You can borrow a spring compressor from autozone for free. You just have to leave a deposit.

Yes only special tool that is needed is a spring compressor, Keep in mind not all autozones loan tools, luckily I had a co worker
who owned a nice compressor...
other wise all I needed were normal hand tools, elbow grease and a couple bandaids...
