I cut 7/8 of a coil off my fronts that had a factory 3 dot pad and it was too low for 245/35ZR19's. I cut 1 full coil off the backs that had a factory 2 dot pad and it rubs slightly at the inner fender wheel well with 285/30ZR20's. I would start off cutting a 1/2 coil like the links suggest and work your way down either cutting more or adding thinner spring pads.

I know the removal of the rears in the thread isn't a step by step with pictures but it is pretty straight forward. Remove the inner lower control arm bolt (22 mm deep socket), the sway bar links, the upper control arm inner bolt (19mm shallow socket and/or open end wrenches), the upper control arm outer bolt is a torx bit and needs asan open end wrench to hold the nut, the top shock nut (17mm deep socket) after pulling out the inner rear side panels, and the spring falls out.

I felt like the fronts were even easier just having to remove the shock nut (17mm deep socket), 2 inner lower control arm bolts (22 mm deep socket), and sway bar caps (1 each side with 2 each 13mm deep socket nuts), and the spring falls out.

I found that putting everything back together was easier to tighten the shock nut first by jacking up the lower control arm under the shock area, then jack the lower control arm into place. Use two people with a good jack (aluminum racing rapid jack) to fine tune the alignment to just easily slide the bolt in. For the front lower control arms I found putting the rear bolt in before the front helped it align easier.

I have taken the front apart 3 times adding different spring pads and it gets easier every time.

I hope this reads how it sounded in my head and didn't confuse the issue more. It is easier to just get your hands on it and it will all make sense.
