Question Lowering springs - Tool needed?

I own a 2005 Mustang 4.0 and wanted to know if anyone has changed out there springs. I need to lower my stang about 1.5 inches and would like to do it myself.

I wanted to know if a special tool is needed in order to install the springs due to the tension.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

the rear springs need no special tools.. the fronts should only need a spring compressor..

I ordered the Smoked tail light tint and 3rd brake light decal from American Muscle. I am planning on putting them on as soon as they arrive. Happy Father's Day to me!!
