Default Audi a5/B8 lowering spring instal

All I have searched and although I know its out there I can not seem to find a DIY write up on this. I know its out there, heck I've read it but now that Im getting ready to do it this wknd I can't seem to locate it. Any assistance would be appreciated.

For anyone that may be interested the best write up oddly enough is on vw vortex, The front is as described but the rears is much simpler than described. Specifically NO subframe bolts need to be messed with. Also by using a scissor jack to gently separate the springs turns the rears into a 30 minute job.

Rears only need top hat bolts (two 16mm) and sway bar removed to do this swap.
