There is a pretty good DIY on suspension floating around somewhere...

I ordered my springs and camber monday so I'll tackle mine when I go home for my b-day next weekend.

on the front take the middle bolt on the upper a arm off to push the LCA further down to get the strut in and out
also remove the endlink. You may want to do both fronts at the same time, i had trouble getting my endlink back on in the front when doing one side at a time

that way you wont need a spring compressor either

rear is easier, just be careful not to overtorque those stock little bolts welded on to the frame

Thanks dude. I want it just a bit lower, at least in the rear.

It's quiet with stock cats and sounds clean. Louder with test pipes but not ridiculous like most. If you want it, give me a holler.
