Here is your best bet. I used this guide when installing my coilovers.

Just skip steps 10-14. Take your time, it can seem a little over whelming. I would STRONGLY suggest you get a breaker bar if you don't already have one. That was the biggest problem for me during my install, I couldn't get enough leverage to get my bolts loose. Spent hours thinking of ingenious ways to create tools to get around the problem.
Also very important, be careful about your ABS sensor, I cant stress this enough. No one gave me a heads up when I did my install and I broke both sensors in the front. I now have no traction control or ABS brakes. I'm used to driving without both as this was my first car to have either. It can be a expensive sensor to replace.
Good Luck with the install
