Default Lowering 93 coupe?

I have a friend who I have promissed to help lower his 93, Neither of us have never done this before and am concerned about the procedure. Anyone have any links to previous threads or links (yes I have searched) that may help or provide info on how to do this? Special concern about the mono-leaf spring and how to saftely remove and reassemble it. Any help or advice would be appriciated.

The easiest method for the rear is to purchase longer threaded rods holding each end of the mono springs. For the front, there is a method of removing, or shaving the wedges on each side of the spring. There really are a lot of threads with good detail on these procedures in here. I've never done it (Just removed my coils and replaced 'em with mono's) so I can't help too much...but I can lead you to the water

When you pop the lower A arm from the spring (after taking off the shock and sway bar end link) you will need LOTS of room to swing the A arm down. Support the spring with a jack when you release the final component holding the A arm up
