Default Front Coil Spring Removal

Hey I just need a detailed write up on how some of you guys have removed and installed your front coil springs. The rears are a no brainer, but I just need a little more insight for the front. I have instructions but I just need some more input from guys who have done it themselves, like maybe there could be a short cut or two? Let me know...

Heres better than a write up that I would make... This one has pictures!!! http://www.mustangworld.com/ourpics/...edaspring1.htm

The only difference I needed a spring compressor to take out the front springs. Oh and also I didnt unbolt the strut from the strut tower. I unbolted the strut from the spindle. This makes it so you dont need to have an alignment done afterwards. But it is suggested to get your alignment done afterwards.

Awesome find! IDK I may sound dumb but this install is the same for SN95's right?
