Yeah, rears a little more of a pain, especially because of where they are. The fronts are so easy to get to and work with once you take of the front tire.

so got the fronts in today talk about a big giant pain in the ***, definitely not a large hand friendly job, many cuts and bruises tonight lol
started on the drivers side so i got all my frustrations out there and had a system for the passenger side when i noticed that of course dodge does their thing and mounts the engine more to the passenger side so i had to go up underneath and wedge my wrist and hand up in there, looks like im a cutter now lol
but i had thought mopar stopped mounting their engines to the side back with the muscle cars obviously i was wrong

It takes all day to get to 115 compared to a faster car. I drove my room mates '03 mach 1 and got to 135 in no time, and it was still climbing pretty fast.
