im looking at getting some bilstein's for the rear. The instalation looks pretty simple is this the case?

Yeah very easy! I did my rear shocks in around 2 hours. This was my first time and I only had problems geting the new shock bottom in the spot. Anyway using some soap really helped it out!

this is the simplest shock replacement i have ever done. it took me more time to jack up the car and pull the wheels then to switch the shocks. you have the top of the shock mounts in the trunk and then the 1 bolt at the bottom of the control arm. Too easy. Took me maybe 30 min tops

matt where did you use soap?

On the bottom of the shock were the bolt goes through. I soaped up the bushing on the shock and it slid in much easier! I think it was the shocks that were messed up though, so dont worry it will be easier than you think!
