Default Winter Mods, need help

I plan on removing the BSM's and lowering the car on stock bolts while I have the car stored for the winter. I have searched far wide and can't find the links for either procedure.

Please help!

The garage. I wash it, change the oil, unhook the battery, cover it, and it starts right up in March. I've been doing this for 12 years with my Camaro and Vette.

Sorry, you can tell I'm at work and typing quickly. I'm misspelling words and I even misread the question.

I store the car because I can't drive in on the snow in the Chi. Salt isn't very nice to a car or its wheels either.
