Hey CC, i have a 98 dx hatch and Im installing lowering springs on the car but im not sure how to access the rear struts as they are hidden behind some plastic panels. I opened the speaker grill and it seems that the whole thing is one piece. My Question is how can i access the struts without having to strip my entire interior haha. If I do end up having to, is there a map of clips and screws that I can follow? Thanks in advance

The mounts are under the plastic panels on the sides. You'll probably have to remove the side panels to get to it.

Were you able to find the map of clips and screws? I know it is not a big deal but still can you share the map? Waiting for reply thanks in advance=)

I wasn't able to find the map but for my purposes, taking out the speakers worked fine. What did you need specifically?
