First, take off your tires and lift your car.

Then you have to remove the bolt that holds the brake line onto the strut assembly.

Pull the cotter pin on the front that goes into the bolt extending from the tie rod. Remove the nut just above the cotter pin. Tap the bottom of the bolt with a hammer to release the tie rod from the strut assembly. You can use a tie rod separator but the chances of tearing the tie rod boot are high so I suggest tapping the bolt from underneath.

There are two bolts that hold the strut assembly to the rotor. Remove both bolts. At this point your strut assembly should be free at the bottom.

Having someone underneath, unscrew the three nuts that surround the top of the strut tower. Once these have been removed, the strut assembly should be totally free.

Pull the strut assembly out and compress the spring. Make sure to mark all of the pieces of the strut assembly to ensure correct fitment and alignment when you put the new spring in. After you compress the stock spring remove the nut on the top of the strut assembly.

Decompress the stock spring and then compress the lowering spring. Place the new spring onto the strut assmebly, reposition the top pieces along the marks you have made and torque the strut aseembly nut down. Decompress the spring and put the strut assembly back into place.

Reassemble everything in reverse order that you disassembled it in. Only for the aftermarket camber bolt, you will put this in place of the top bolt that held the strut assembly to the rotor.

Now for the rear:

Remove the bolt that holds the bottom of the shock assembly in place. This will be the only bolt for the assembly that needs to be removed on the undercarriage.

Climb into the trunk and pull back the carpet that covers the rear shock tower. Remove the two outer nuts that surround the tower.

At this point, the shock assembly should be ready to remove, however it may need a little muscle to get it out, so just try and force it a little bit.

Do the same thing that you did with the front strut assembly on the rear shock assembly as far as compressing and decompressing.

After the new spring has been installed reinstall in the same order you disassembled.

For the rear camber arms, you need to remove two bolts at the "T" end of the camber arm that attaches to the undercarriage. There is at the other end a "U" shape which has a bolt running through it. Remove this bolt as well.

For the new camber arm, just reinstall in the same order you uninstalled the stock camber arm.

Wait about 500-1000 miles and have an alignment done and that is it!
