      you jack the car up. take the bolt out of the bottom of the shocks, and then lower the axle down the rest of the way. the springs will almost fall out. then you jack the axle back up with the springs in there until you can get the bottom bolt back in.
      springs are separate from the shock.

      the top is 2 more bolts per side. then the top bolt to disassemble the mount.

      wow i love these KYBs they keep the car nice and level, they say they are meant to be just OEM replacements as far as quality and support but they are way stronger and have a better rebound and are just all over a better shock/strut...but i think a strut bar and rear sway bar would really top it all off...but where do i get those?

      pic of it lowered with 1 coil cut springs
