for the sportlines you should not need spring compressors. Just a jack and a big screwdriver. for the front you will have to take the slack out of your brake line and disconnect one side of your brake pad (the side with the bolt) You will not have to bleed due to you not opening the brake. and the rear you just disconnect everything you can but the drive shaft. and the differential.

put car up in air. take tires off. take brake calipers off. take brake pads/rotors off. then take out the struts, etc.
