the passenger side strut has a bolt that is entirely covered by the chasis brace which must be unbolted (6 bolts) to gain access to it.

rear the struts are bolted in from the bottom. at least no removing of all the interior trunk panels. did that anyways but there is so many more fasteners on this car.
multilink rear lower trailing arm needs to be unbolted from subframe and wheel hub in order to get the springs out.

Yes, the front strut top is more time consuming to get to.

The rear spring should be an easy, just remove the inner nut and bolt so you do not disturb the camber settings.
