ok so i did my research, i printed out the diy for installing springs, but i still have problems. i have a 2001 audi a4 fwd. i started with the rear wich the diy said to. so i jacked the car up and put it on stands, took the wheels of , and disconnected the lower control arm. then in the diy it say to disconnect the upper control arm. i looked in the wheel well, took the wheel well out and ripped apart the trunk looking how to get this out. my spring and shock just goes up to the body of the car and were it goes in there is not any bolts or anything. can someone please help me out with this.

 

The tops of the shocks are inside the car.
Remove the bottom of the seats, then fold the seats down.
On each side of the seat is a cushion, you need to remove that cushion.
Push down on the cushion, pushing it towards the floor, then you'll unhook the bottom of it, then lift up and unhook the top.
There's a small compartment covered with foam, remove the foam and you'll see the tops of the shocks.

 

the 2wd rears are different than the awd

 

how do i remove the little piece on the sides of the seats.

 

You have to remove the seat bottoms first, you do this simply by lifting them up. They'll unhook if you pull hard enough.
