I did it in my garage, I have about a meter of work space on each side. After driving it a bit more on rough roads, I'd say its considerably stiffer than H&R springs and 50k mile oem shocks. I MIGHT raise it just a little bit if I get sick of the ride quality.
The trim in the trunk is a bit tough, but mostly straightforward. I had to remove the whole rear parcel shelf, and the apparatus that moves it up and down (toughest part). I also removed all the carpet except the back piece. I took pics of all or most of the things that are holding the trim together for you and others here. I also weighed the trim pieces.
The H&R front springs and shock is about 1lbs lighter than stock.
I'm at work, so I don't have time to upload all the pics.
