I suggest rereading all the responses.

Yeah I did read them. Just re-read them all. The only answer I saw was the you tube video. I was just curious to see if there is an actual procedure/instructions.
I don’t own the HAS but it’s never a bad thing to learn more. Thought maybe I missed the answer but yeah I don’t actually see anyone answering the question.

Sometimes I find it nice still to have written DIY in these posts because they are helpful for people in the future doing searches (as opposed to just videos buried in a thread).

The overall answer is "if you have to ask, you probably (definitely) shouldn't". As abrasive as Carefree can be, they are right in this case. If you own a relatively expensive car, you really shouldn't be debating doing a $150 alignment after a suspension geometry change. I mean, you shouldn't do it regardless of the cost of your car, but the point is pretty clear.

I’m super confused: wasn’t the original question “how do you actually do the lowering?” Completely independent of doing an alignment or not afterwards.

Since repair manuals are barely in print anymore, doesn’t it make sense for someone to provide the tutorial/ steps for making adjustments to a part that is literally named “Height Adjustable”?

Asking questions on forums is typically the best source of info for instructions. Especially if the OEM equipment does not provide the instructions but the equipment is designed to be adjusted.

Well I figured it out and it’s super easy at least in the front.

Back was maxed out already but wanted the lower the front to max as well. Jacked up the car and used the claw like wrenches that come with the kit to spin the bottom colllar until it got to the bottom. There is a small locking hex screw that needs to be loosened first and tightened after. I did it without evening removing the wheels!

Max low! -25mm front and -20mm back I believe. Looks amazing.

Nice work! Great to see the info on how to actually accomplish that. I'm sure that will help others in the future for how to make your own adjustments at home.
