Default instruction on adjusting the height on rear stasis coilovers

Do you have to lower the subframe to do it?
I have a difficulty locating the bolts to be removed to lower the subframe.
I have bentley manual but it only talks about A4. I never seem to be able to find anything in Bentley.

Default My my. I'm about to do it on my S4. Take a look here, about pg 8 =>

The photo shows one of the bolts directly about the shock at the bend in the sway bar.<ul><li><a href="http://stasisengineering.com/admin/PDfFile/Suspension%20B7%20SL%20Install.pdf">clicky</a></li></ul>

Default thanks, that's better, mine is in black an white... But

just by looking at the photos, I still can't figure out which bolts need to be removed to lower the subframe.
I am afraid I may remove the wrong bolts and become irriversible with the limited tools I have.

I wish the photos come with arrows.

Default There's 2 bolts per side. So one side at a time.. Jack it as high as you can...

place jack stands underneath, remove the wheel. The other bolt isn't shown in the photos. You'll find it when you crawl under. Loosen only, DO NOT REMOVE THE BOLTS. I understand from STaSIS back them out until the spring seat is loose, then do the adjustment with the wrench or by hand, as Jason said as you'll gain enough clearance to do it.
I'm gonna do mine tomorrow am (eastern PA). If you want to wait, I'll take some pics while underneath and shoot you a mail later in the morning.
