Just use a screwdriver in one hand, and a shop vac in the other, workds
great. (its the first thing I had to do when I first got my Roc.)

Soft sports are only a little stiffer than stock. The Potterman had to
talk me into the Race springs but after I got them, I was pleasantly
surprised in their ride quality. I'll admit, the first time I drove on
the freeway I did have to clench my teeth or I would bite my tounge 
(Rythmic, bouncy old freeway) but the suspenion loosened up after about a
week or so. 

Which shocks work the best? Simple, KONI adjustables all the way. There
is none finer. Also note that I drive about 1/2 mile on a chewed up dirt
road to get to and from work and you know its stiff, but it doesnt
require 1st gear to get there.

(Awaiting my front Koni's to return from the Warranty Proccess! Buy em
once, they're free after that.)
