Spot on mate. Only issue is the front shocks are inserts so you have to undo the big circular nut. I recommend heating it up with a blow torch but being careful as the old inserts oil will burn! Then grab some good quality stilsons (pipe wrench) and undo it. I you need a hand one weekend just ask as it will get me out of the house.
