Same here, took me 4 hours to do springs, shock & struts and swaybars. It was my first time doing suspension on any car too. Just remember to place the springs tails in the exact same position as the old ones. On the front springs, the lower A-arm has 2 holes in it(you might have to clean out the dust and rust to see it), remember to cover only one hole and not both.

Springs are easy. Took me four hours to do the install with one jack, four jackstands and a basic selection of tools. Having an extra set of hands really helps. Dont spend 200+ dollars on install.
