That is easy.

Step 1: Measure how much you want to lower the ride height
Step 2: Raise car/remove wheels
Step 3: Loosen lower locking collar for the coilover assembly (the part that bolts to the knuckle/control arm)
Step 4: Unbolt assembly from knuckle/control arm
Step 5: Spin coilover assembly down the desired amount
Step 6: Bolt coilover assembly to knuckle/control arm
Step 7: tighten locking collar
Step 8: Reinstall wheels/lower car
Step 9: Alignment
