no mate I am going to get them from a scrap yard so I very much doubt it will be lowered and I just need to get them off thats it and the body shop can do the rest to my car like taking off old ones and fitting the new ones

REAR ONES ARE EASY, JUST A FEW BOLTS ON THE UNDERSIDE OF THE QUARTER

FRONT ONES I TINK IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY YOU CAN EITHER RIP THEM OFF OR TAKE THE LINER OUT AND UNDO THE NUTS AGAIN

YOU CAN ALWAYS BOND THEM BACK ON!
