1) Try the search
2) This is something that you would probably need to get some of your friends together to help you with
3) All you NEED to replace are your actual springs
4) You do not have to replace your struts... JordanGT has been riding around about a year on factory struts
5) With lowering springs and factory struts, your struts will wear out faster though

hey, i'm famous...yeah, the factory struts'll be fine until they wear out, which will happen a tad quicker than they'd wear out with factory springs, but ahh well. you'll want to get a spring compressor so you can compress the spring to undo the big bolt that holds the spring on the strut. the spring packs a little punch. we undid the bolt on one of the struts with the strut still on the car and the car up on jackstands, and the nut got shot off the hood pad and across the garage. don't be stupid like me. use a spring compressor on EVERY corner. :)

or just use an impact gun to take it off once you have the whole assembly out of the car. just take it as slow as you can and ya should be alright
