Default Spring installation-help!

I just bought my eibach pro kit and am planning to do the install myself. Aside from a spring compressor, what do I need to know to install my springs? Any tips?

Like mentioned above, you don't need srping compressors. It's easy, but then I've done it before. You can change the springs out in 2 hours or less if you're familiar with it. Otherwise, maybe 3-4 hours after getting frustrated and throwing wrenches and cursing very loud that everyone in the neighborhood heres you, lol. just don't hit your car, patience is a virtue!!
