Default Suspension Fitting

Has any body fitted their own coilovers?
Did you come across any problems or issues?

Fitted the Apex (BC) myself and prodrive springs some years ago.
It's all quite straight forward, depending on what units you're fitting.
If they're BC or Apex take a look at the thread below for a few tips.
