How hard are the rear coil spring pads to install?

I was looking at the whoosh ones https://whoosh-motorsports.myshopif...powerflex-fiesta-st-rear-coil-spring-pads-set since my drivers' side rear spring appears to be making a banging noise. I can take it in under warranty, but if swapping to this purple dealy fixes the issue permanently it might be a better idea.

Realistically, how hard are these to install, and will I need a new alignment afterwards?

Its 2 bolts and maybe 15 minutes. Jack up the rear, use the jack to compress your rear suspension and unbolt the bottom of your shock on each side. Then you can pull the coil springs out and replace the pads.

Groovy - thanks duders!

Worth going with the whoosh ones even if I'm still under warranty? Sounds like a really common issue.

If you drive the car hard. Or carry a heavy load frequently. Get the poly pads.
