Once you done that, refit the subframe bolts to that side and remove the opposite side.

Once the new springs are fitted, torque up the subframe bolts to the specified torque and job done

Beats frabbing about with drop links and rusted fasteners any day of the week.....20 minutes to do both rear springs

What does this do? Allow an extra amount of lowering of that sides suspension in proportion to how much the subframe is dropped?

Does this not cause alignment issues afterwards?
