Loosen the bolt on the control arm to the subframe, be careful with the brake line. I didn't care much for it since I was replacing it. If the brake line is holding you up, just remove the brake caliper. I also used a cross lug nut remover, to give me more down leverage.

question, with doing the front, is there anything really different or important I need to lookout for or replace? I'm doing front and back this weekend and it's my first time doing them.. thanks in advance

Your bushings and ball joints for sure, those are the biggest issues that affect your ride. Test your wheel bearings, with the tire on and the car on jack stands. Wiggle the tire for any play.

My springs came separate from the struts and I lost the manual. Do the bigger springs go with the real struts?

The coils that are tighter spaced together go to the front. Let me know if that is what you are seeing on your end. If not, let me know and I'll pull my tires off and measure mine

@@nicklldoit yes. I believe I made the mistake of putting the springs that start narrow at the bottom then widen at the top in the front. At what measurements did you set your coil overs at? Also what are the aluminum spacers for?

@@jonathanmagana4246 I set mine at 1 inch from the bottom of the threads to the first lock. Those spacers are needed for the front strut, some original parts are reused. It would be best to request a users manual from Tein. They say it's on their web site, I couldn't locate it.
