4 on each control arm in the front and for the rear you get a 1/16in washer to use it as a shim for the rear.

You just loosen up the rear sensor's bolts enough to where you can put the 1/16 washer in.

I did this mod about a week ago and i know why some go towards lowering links. The fronts on my car barely fit 3 washers and even then it was rough trying to get the nut to catch threads very tough. The rears i lowered using the washer method as well but because i couldnt lower the front enough the rear sat too low and the rear washer was very thin. Also the passenger side rear sat lower. I think for 130 bucks im gonna do the lowering links although the ride height seems fine in the front because i left the 3 washers it could be lower. My rears are stock and i took the washers out.
