Wohoo! I finally had the time to do it. I followed the BOL and besides the "jack front of the car" typo, everything was as the manual said.
Only thing is, I had to remove the box silencer and since the exhaust is 11 years old, the tube broke and had to get it fixed since I made more noise than a 747 at take off
My father told me that he had taken the car to the local Citroen dealership a few years ago for the same job. And "what a surprise", all the bolts were tighter than specs (BOL says 52 and 55 lbs), the lower bolt was torqued to more than 100 lbs! I know because my torque wrench doesn't go more than 100. So I had to use my left leg to push on the ratchet handle.
But everything is in order.
I replaced my ZX's rear dampers! Success!

When I did mine the top bolts must have been there since the car was built, jeez they were tight, all the way out too, nothing like new shocks to make a car (or Bike) feel good though.
