Remove black rubber corner pieces that are held in by 2 plastic push clips. These can be easily removed using a flat head screwdriver.
Once pieces are removed there will be 1 more plastic push clip that holds down the plastic piece covering one bolt. This will need to be removed on both sides.
Now, you will have access to 4 bolts (2 15mm bolts and 2 13mm bolts. These can now be fully removed. (Figure- 3 Yellow)

STEP 6
REMOVE REAR SPRING AND SHOCK

Start by removing rear lower perch covers. There are held on by a single 10mm bolt near the center of the arm. (Figure- 10 Yellow)
Upward pressure needs to be applied either with a floor jack or transmission jack in order to relieve tension from the 2 21mm bolts that connect the lower perch to the shock and hub. Typically, the shock bolt can be removed first followed by the hub bolt but this can vary. (Figure-10 Blue and Green)
Once the bolts are removed you can now bring the perch down releasing the oem spring.
Next, fully loosen the 2 15mm bolts at the top of the shock on either side. You can not fully remove these bolts as they have a plastic retainer. Once this is completed the shock can now be removed. (Figure- 11 Orange)

STEP 7
INSTALL REAR COILOVER

Once shock has been removed, remove top dust cap and remove center 17mm nut securing the top hat to the shock. This piece will be transferred over to the new shock. Use the included 14mm nut to secure the OEM top hat piece to the new shock(27FTLBS). Reinstall dust cap. (Figure- 12)
Reinstall the shock back into place and tighten 2 15mm bolts(30FTLBS)

STEP 8
INSTALL REAR SPRING

NOTE: SPRING MUST BE INSTALLED IN THIS ORDER. OEM UPPER RUBBER PIECE, SPRING, STAINLESS THRUST SHEET, WHITE DELRN THRUST SHEET, LOWER SPRING PERCH.

Install spring assembly into lower arm first. Use jack to apply upward pressure and insure top of spring seats correctly.
Once everything is in place, apply pressure until both 21mm bolts can be inserted.
You may need to insert once then apply more pressure and insert the second one.
Once both bolts are in you can remove the jack and hand tighten the 21mm nuts.
These bolts are to be tightened fully(85ftbls) once the car is on its own weight.
Failure to do so can result in increased bushing wear and incorrect heights.
