ive done a search and found nothing, does anyone have a guide on lowering a 200/25/ZR?

Just i'd kind of like to know the rough way to do it before i go balls deep and grab the spanner and go crazy (like we did on my mates focus... which took us alot longer because we had no idea where to start, so did things in the wrong order!)

Any and all help is appreciated!

Backs take 30 minutes for both tbh. For the backs...

Jack the back up,
take Wheel off,
undo bolt where strut meets beam,
undo top two bolts from boot,
drop strut out,
fit spring,
fitting is the reverse of removal...

Front is a bit harder tbh...

Jack up the front,
take wheels off,
remove brake line from strut,
undo bottom pinch bolt,
kick the hub down so the strut is no longer in the hub,
remove 3 15mm bolts from top of arch,
out comes strut,
fit spring,
fitting is the reverse of removal...

Should only take 2 hours tbh. Hardest part is getting hte front struts out of the hub.
