Installing springs.....got a question

Well my Tien S-Techs (for the Z) will be coming in for my G on Wednesday. I want to do the install without having to take it to a shop. How difficult is it (if at all) and is there anything I should know before I get started?

Thanx for your help,
Chris

If you have the proper equipment (i.e jacks, floor jacks, tools, spring compressor) will not take very long. If you don't have the proper tools. can take a long time. rears are easy, springs are in the rear bucket. Fronts you need to remove the stock springs and install new springs and without spring compressor can be very difficult.

so what..........you don't need a spring compressor for the rears?
by tools, you mean wrenches, hammer, sockets, screw drivers, and obviously a spring compressor....etc. nothing out of the ordinary right?

thanx,
