Lowering rear subframe question
I am nursing my way through this with little hands-on experience and a Bentley guide. Can somebody give me a bit more help? Support subframe with jack, loosen both bolts on each side (Big ones in the bushings, aiming down)..? Do I need to remove the sway bar? Do I need to pull the rear exhaust section? Will I still ne a spring compressor, or can I lower it enough to get the springs out? Not looking to bugger this up.

you are on the right track. Support the subgrame with a jack, take
out those big *** bolts, take off the plastic links for the traction control. You do not need to take off the sway bar or lower the exhaust. Lower the subframe slowly.
