ive never done this before so i can use some help the rears look easy but the fronts , ihave no idea were the wedges go if you have any pics of front and rear i would appreciate it thanks Dan
The rears are easy, the fronts are a PITA. I had my mechanic do the fronts and then I took it and got the whole thing aligned. Some people have done the fronts on their own. Im sure they will chime in.:)
I lowered the rear in about 1/2hr but still have the front pieces in the box as I don't have the facilities to remove the front spring.
I think that once you have the front spring out it will become apparent where the wedges go.

I did this myself a few weeks ago. Removing the front spring was a bit of a hassle, as the bolts were seized in the spring clamp due to salt corrosion from living in MI. I love the new look, but definitely scrape alot more.
You need to remove a lower control arm, then remove the spring. you have to make sure your car is high enough in the air and far enough from a wall or immovable object. I had my car on 3-ton jackstands under the jacking points and it was barely high enough to get the spring out. Once the spring was out I used a hacksaw to carefully cut the big rubber pad from the top of the spring, then a scraper to remove the last of the rubber. Glue the new wedges on and reassemble. this is probably a whole day project at least. Good luck.
