Jack up and jack stand the rear end.

undo the bottom bolts holding the struts in.

undo the top bolts holding the strut in. Remove the strut.

Remove the springs

Install in reverse order

Yes the height adjustment should be on the spring.

Pics of the coilover system would help too.

Good luck with the install and please post pics! I'm contemplating coilovers and I'd love to see how yours turn out.

if i remember correctly you have to remove the 2 bolts that hold the torsion bar in place, which i think are the same bolts that hold the bottom of the shock... so once all is removed go into the back of the car and remove the little access tabs that lead to the top of the shock, undo that and then you should be able to remove the whole shock.... but dont forget that you will have to use a back up when removing the top, otherwise you will just keep turning forever... hope this helps...
