It's very much the same process, Im sure that 'guide' and your eyesight/common sense will be enough....

It's not that hard, you'll soon figure out what needs to be undone, get a long breaker bar/air tools for the subframe bolts. If they haven't been touched in 10 years or more they can be fun....!

*edit* just found out you dont really need adjustable droplinks as the old ones can be spaced out.

ill be using the droplinks which are already in (1.6 AZD), think theyre shorter than the standard r32 ones?  :undecided:
