Default self install of springs

So I asked how much for an install of springs and several of you said do it yourself. What is it to the install that makes it so easy. What tools would I need? What would I need to do? Can i google it to find out? Anything would help to save money for other mods. Thanks Guys, Jerry

look at the guide on mustangworld .com . It's very easy to follow. The downside to that guide is they forget to tell you to disconnect your sway bar before lowering the jack.

Like said above, it is pretty simple to do on your own. You need basic hand tools, a floor jack and jack stands. A pry bar also comes in handy to aid in getting the old springs out. AmericanMuscle has a good writeup as well.
