Strut and aftermarket suspension????

Ok so i did do a little research but i didnt find exactly what i needed to know. My seven is completely torn apart in my garage and i want to set it up to be a drift car. I'm completely lost. On the front suspension, how do you get the strut out of the spindle? Can I even reuse the spindle? Cause it looks like it does not want to come out of there! I was planning on getting the respeed big brake kit. I already have 5 lug FC hubs. I just want to upgrade the front suspension assembly. Im 17 so hints that I am on a budget. -Thanks for the help guys!!!

Strut does not separate from spindle.

book

Do yourself a favor and pick up a haynes or chilton repair book at your local pep boys and when u have money buy a real repair manual it'll be expensive but if you're planning on drifting, u'd better plan on spending money the first time u take your 7 into the wall :-) You have to break some eggs the make an omelet my friend
