First, thanks for all the replies. I really appreciate it.

Car has 50k on it. Car was aligned when IMS was done about 500 miles eariler. No mention of problems with rear suspension though pointed out other issues and fixed. Car has Bilstein HD and I am trying to install H&R lowering springs. I was told by multiple people that no other parts would be needed. Hopefully correct or i would not have taken this on.

So I am bit confused now. Steves suggestion of removing the bolts holding the LCA and toe rod to the chassis makes sense to me. With those disconected, the only thing I believe attaching the wheel carrier to the chassis is the axle. Is that going to be an issue? How about number 8 and 16 on the non LCA side. Where do they attach and do I need to remove at number 8 or can I just remove number 10 and slide 8 off of the LCA. I feel like I am helping my son with math.

Now from Gilles it seems I need to remove the whole strut.

Gilles, are you saying I can do what Steve suggests and then remove the strut from the carrier or something else? I think Steve was suggesting I might be able to remove spring with strut attached. Gilles I think is saying no. Fauxdiablo suggested an easier way but waiting for response from him. Maybe he has done it.

I am add the point now where I can either continue to follow my instructions or try the above method. Hopefully my original plan is not needed.
