Check out this site:

Its quite a job but well worth it. I would start with the front, thats the hardest. Also, while your in there you may want to consider urethane bushings.

Feel free to e-mail me if you run into any snags.

There are a lot of good tech tips on the forum. I used them for lowering mine with good success. I would recommend doing the lower ball joints at the same time since you will have the lower A arms out. I just took mine to a local shop and they pressed them in and out in ten minutes. Make sure you get the car up pretty high on jackstands.
