 Now you can completely remove the strut from the car and slide the spring off of it. You then need to remove the few bolts that hole the top strut plate to the strut tower. Take note as to which way it is facing. This will make the reinstall easier.Here is the difference in one of the stock front springs and one of the new lowered springs. Now that the strut is off, the stock spring is gone and the top strut plate is off, it is now time to install the new spring. Slide it on the strut and bolt the top strut plate on with the center nut you removed first.

Now you can reinstall the strut and new spring (as one piece) back into the car. Use the reverse method of in removal. Here is that picture of the sway bar end link I promised. Now do the same steps to the other front corner and the front should be done. Make sure all bolts, etc are tight and its time to replace the wheels and move on to the rear. Here is a picture of the front lowered and the rear stock. Now on to the rear! Remove the interior plastic pieces to get access to the rear shock bolts. On this particular car, you can jack up the whole rear and go ahead and remove both the rear wheels. There is not as much pressure on the rear shocks as there is on the front. The rear is also more involved do to the amount of stuff that has to be removed.
