After a few to many hours and a few years takin off my life my new springs are in. I tried to follow some directions off the web for 3 hours, rented 2 different kind of springs compressors and almost shot myself twice. I took a break and just looked at things, poped the sway bar and droped the A arm to the ground. After that it took me about 20 mins per wheel. I am now very happy, and my car is 2 inches lower.

It took me about 1.5hrs. Pretty easy to do once you figure it out. For the front all I did was undo the calipers, sway bar, and unbolted the strut from the tower and lowered the A-arm with a jack. No spring compressors were used. Enjoy your new look and ride.

Thats a good post man
Reminds of the time my and a couple of buddies installed my Eibach Pro-Kit. Didnt help that were all old friends, drank many a beer and finished up at 3 a.m. Thanks goodness all ended up well. 
Congrats Man
The easiest way to do it is to take the nut off the ball joint, tie rod, and the sway bar and lower the control arm down with a jack. The rear is really simple just on bolt the struts and lower the whole rear end down, then the springs will pop right out. I used to work at a front end shop and we did it all of the time. It would usually take about an hour.
My fronts went pretty smooth (no problems), and rear springs were going good until I came to the install part of the job. Everything said that they just go right in. About one hour of cussing and trying everything in my tool box, I went to the "Zone" and rented a spring compression tool. Life was then good.
