Default Replacing Stock Bolts

Guys,

I ordered a set of lowering bolts for my 02 coupe, I did a search to see if there is a write up on how to change them but only found threads on how to lower the car on stock bolts and nothing on actually replacing bolts " maybe I suck at searching". If anyone here has any info can you please let me know.

Thank you in advance,
Javi

The rears are easy, Jack the car up to take the weight off wheels And you can switch out the bolts in just a few minutes. With the wheels off they are right in front of you. The fronts you have to drop the lower A arm to get clearance to turn the bolts down out of the spring. I cut the bushings on mine without removing anything. You can try typing in "removing lowering bolts" I have seen pics on here showing the process of A arm removal. I hope this helps you some. Good luck. Dennis
