Honestly, i'll try and find you a guide later, I wish I wrote one when i did mine, its like 3 bolts each side at the front and two each side at the rear to get the units out. you will need spring compressors though.  the only bit that has to be done afterwards by a professional is wheel alignment and camber...

I'm still surprised that nobody will touch it though just because it's already lowered... what kind of places are you taking it to?
