Default TRD Spring write up?

I know I'm going to get murdered for asking but I spent the last 20 minutes going through the forums and it's not in the tech section... anyone have a write up on how to install the TRD springs on a 200x tC? I'm sure I will be able to figure it out by looking at it but it's always nice to have a reference point...

Sorry for asking and not spending my whole day at work searching...

all springs are installed the same.

1. remove your windshield cowl, and all the crap in the trunk
2. jack the car up and place on jack stands (dont trust the jack alone)
3. remove your wheels
4. remove the strut tower bolts
5. disconnect the strut from the lower suspension
6. compress the spring, than take it off the strut
7. put on new spring

then reverse the directions

i know i left out a few things here and there, but SEARCH!

I did search!! I figured that's about all it was. I have a lift at my garage so I won't need jack stands... I've LIFTED about 10 vehicles (for myself and my friends) but never lowered one... so this is new to me. Plus taking a truck apart is much easier than a car. Everything has much better access on a truck/Jeep where with the car I need to get to all the hidden bolts and what not.

removing the struts is easy (well the front struts at least), hopefully you have automatic spring compressor so the whole install will be easy!
