after you take off the wheels, you're going to take off two big bolts, which connect the shock strut and the brake hub assembly. be VERY careful when you take out those two big bolts. the axle can slide out of the transmission. and when that happens, it's a pain to put back in. what i suggest is that you have someone hold the axle in place when you take out the two bolts.

i recently installed springs and i had a lot of trouble because of the axle. contact me if you have any questions

Hey, you got any pics of the car before and after you lowered it? And how many inches was the drop?

The axle shouldn't have slipped out if you had axle nuts on it. It is also easier if you take the middle 17mm bolt off before you take the three 12mm bolts off.
