Yes they are, spray them with some PB blaster first to help move better.
You can use this diagram. I used it and had great results.

Some FOOD for THOUGHT....
When you LOWER your car, you REDUCE the amount of suspension travel that you have. What that does is, when you are driving down the road and hit a bump the suspension will BOTTOM OUT and cause you to loose some handling.
If this happens when you are doing some spirited driving "lets say on the highway" you could lose control of the car.
Let me guess..... Your using STOCK SHOCKS? Correct?
I recommend that you see how much actual suspension compression that you have before you go too far on LOWERING the car with stock components.

Those are NOT stock rear bolts. You still have NOT read through the thread I posted or you would know that from the pictures about the rear bolts in that thread. With the longer bolts that you have on your car there is a ton more lowering of the rear that can be done. I can see lots of exposed threads on the bolts and if you read my first post I said LESS THREADS = LOWER on the REAR...... ie it is the REVERSE of the FRONT............
I am NOT suggesting that you further lower the rear, just answering your question.
