I did the same thing - its easier sometimes to ask as the search function is sometimes all over the map - anyway if you keep searching there are a ton of links that show how to do it. Have fun - and read about some of the problems that can occur after you start so you will be prepared

just crank the bolts all the way and take the car for a short drive to settle the suspension. once you are done with the drive, measure from the center of each wheel to the wheel well to make sure the car is even from side to side.
you dont need to jack the car up, you can reach everything with the car on the ground.
also, slap on some z06 sway bars and you'll love the 'new' suspension!
took me about half and hour to swap the bars and about ten minutes to crank down the bolts.
