hey nexon, do me a favor, see if you can take some pics of the install. i believe the rear seats have to come out.. if you can do a diy of taking out the rear seats that would be great..

i would like to take apart my rear seats before i bring my car into shop to install... because you know.. i dont really trust them with taking care of my rear leather seats.. i.e. broken tabs and shit like that..

^ the seats absolutely must come out, in order to change the suspensions


there are 2 plastic tabs on the bottom part of the seat, where it meets the carpet... you can use your fingers, or a pair of pliers to pull the tabs towards the front of the vehicle.. you will hear it "release". Remove the bottom half of the seat

then, there are 4 bolts you will see. remove them (i believe 10mm). Once they are off, now is the tricky part..... lift the bottom portion of the top half of the seat. Lift upwards,the tilts outwards... seat will come off its "hook"

It's weird your springs are black and green and your top plates are green. My springs are all black and top plates are gold.

Have you considered replacing the front reflectors on the lower fascia of the car to match those of the AWD?
