Default How to access top mount of rear shocks?

I got my coilovers and plan to install them soon. The front looks relatively easy as far as access to all bolts. The only issue I have left to work out before I attempt this is to find out where the top mount of the rear is? Can I access by removing the trunk lining or do I have to remove the back seat??

Also, does anyone know the torque specs for all the shocks?

I don't know the answer for you. A Haynes manual should have the torque settings and will likely tell you where to access the top of the shock plate. Its worth the $20 investment.

A shop manual will have much more information, but it is more expensive.

How much do you think it is worth? I bid $40 on ebay + 6 shipping, should I raise my bid?
