I want to install Steeda springs with Tokico adjustable shocks and struts along with Steeda adjustable caster camber plates. I will use all new bushings. I am not a stranger with tools and have done many of my own installs with little difficulty. I do not have a lift though, I may try to borrow one. How much trouble is this job with jacks and hand tools? What tools will I HAVE to have? I really want to do this myself. I have a hard time with someone else fooling with my car! Oh yeah, I have a '91 GT.

You'll probably need a spring compressor from Autozone for the fronts. Other than that, put your car up on Jack Stands and do one side at a time. I'd start up front because those will be harder on dissassembly. Figure a better part of the day.

Don't forget a pipe to slip over sockets to use as a breaker bar.

Edit: don't forget to get an alingment right after also!

When I say borrow a lift I mean driving to a shop or garage that has a hydraulic lift and using it. I think this would save a lot of time and effort.
