Rear
  Sway bar end link (upper nut)
  Sway bar bracket bolts holding SB to body
  Lower control arm bolt

Thank so much guys. Dave

Z.....you rock....man i am blowing through mods this winter.  Trip to Livernois Motorsports next Friday to pick up a ton of parts.  The rear install went really easy, hoping the fronts go the same.  Thank you for your help!  Regards Dave

OOOH...OOOH...OOOH...Mr. Cotter (said in a Vinnie Barbareno voice)
Do you have a breakdown for busting the spring off the coil and getting it back together...did my 14’ GT 2 years ago and I’m hoping its similar but I’m fussy about getting it all done and torqued down right.  Regards, Dave

NP! The Fronts are a big Pain in the butt while the bolts are splined and need to be driven out for starters IIRC. Z

I have read a few small threads about this has anyone really detailed it out?  Looks like pulling the strut bolts, sway bar rod (upper end) and some other thing I don’t remember while drinking beer in the basement...!....and the shock will drop out like my GT.

My alignment place wouldn't mess with the alignment camber bolts. I had to eye it and basically make them as positive as i could and it was in spec and  they turned out to be super close to each other. There is no need to take off the axle nuts on the front. Check the bump stops, mine were fine, I cleaned and lubed them. To get the control arm bolts out in the front they are spined so beat with a hammer may need heat. I also bought thru sockets from Craftsman but  they were short so I guess thru deep sockets are needed. The end link nuts are locking so I would recommend a couple new ones in case you have to heat one or two to get them off. The rears were a bigger pain in the ass as they are very tight. I had to spin the spring to a side that doesn't sit correctly in the spring seat to get them in and then spin them once they were in to hit the spring stop.

Pro tip:
Once done on a level surface loosen the strut bar and then retighten so there isn't any weird stress on the frame/body.

Feel free to reach out with any questions. The car is substantially lower. I need to buy higher sidewall tires for my winter steelies so keep that in mind. Test all the usual driveways so you don't jack anything under the car. I had to grind down some concrete on the entrance to my garage because the middle muffler was catching

Z and others I just wanted to say the spring swap went
Flawlessly today....literally a super easy mod.  IF YOUR THINKING ABOUT THIS AND ARE NERVOUS JUST DO IT.  It takes more time to jack the car up and pull the tire then it takes to swaps the springs.  The 2 control arm nuts through the bottom of the shock are splined so you need to remove the nuts and then give them  20-30 small wacks and they will pop out.  Follow the pictures above for a 2015 this is a really easy swap with no axle nut removal or any other cautions others have had.  Torque specs above...good advice as well...one stop shopping.  I’m an average mechanic it was three hours on the nose.  No special tools required.  If you have trouble with the nuts on the top of the spring take them to a local suspension place with a dozen donuts.  Fifteen minutes later the new springs will be magically mounted as six guys thank you....7 bucks!  You guys rock!
