A few quick tips on the installation:
1) When deflating the bags, and replacing the black cap to prevent air from getting in, don't fold the bags the way the manual tells you to. I don't know how they do it doing it that way, but for me and our cars it was impossible.
They tell you to fold the bag's top and bottom towards each other so that it looks like this: /__\
I find it better to fold it into a "Z" shape instead by folding the top towards one side of the bag's body and folding the bottom towards the other side. This way, when you shimmy it in between the springs, you can snake it through. No need for a spatula or crowbar or whatever.
Once you get more than 50% of the bags through, you have to remove the black cap to let some air in the bags. It's necessary because when deflated the bags' width is wider than the springs. In order to squeeze it through, they need some air in them so they're not as flat and wide.
2) Slide the plastic protection thing on top of the bag. I almost forgot to do this to one of my bags because I was too excited with the install. This plastic disc will protect the nipple from getting crushed.
3) There's a hole on the top of each springs. You'll pass your line through that hole. Don't pass it between the springs for obvious reasons.
Here's a quick illustration I did:
The orientation of the sketch is looking from the bottom of the car from the rear as if it were on a lift.
