Default Lowering Question???

I have decided to lower my 00 Hardtop. I am going to stick with the stock hardware. I was wondering if someone could send me pictures of the area that houses the nuts I need to loosen. I have been under the car before, and I think I know which ones they are, but I would like to make sure. I thank everyone for the expert help...

Just look at bolt that goes through each end of the front and rear leaf springs. At the rear, the nut is on the top of the spring, and on the front, it is on the top. Remember on the rear you want to make the spring go further down from the control arms and on the front you want to bring the laef and lower control arms closer together.

I dunked mine on Friday. If you are not cutting the bushings, you will not need to remove the bolt as shown here. This should help you find them though:
