How hard is it to swap coil springs on a weekend?
I have swapped rear ends hence rear springs when I had my 85, how hard are the front ones to swap?
What special tools will I need?

I did it over a weekend, was my first spring swap. The fronts are definitly harder than the rears.

It takes about 3 1/2 to 4 hrs to change the springs, like stated earlier, you need basic handtools, 2 floor jacks is a plus, and a coil spring compressor for the front.
