Rear:
You will need spring compressors for the rear springs unless you take the rear end out of the car. The rear shocks are easily changed, you do not need to remove any brake system components.

Front:
You definitely need spring compressors to remove and install the springs no matter what you do. The struts can be removed/installed without taking the springs out, but it is advised that you do springs as well as shocks at the same time. The caster camber plates are extremely easy to install with the suspension in the car, they bolt into the stock caster camber plate bolt holes. Make sure you read the directions on the caster camber plates as there are different spacer configurations depending on whether you have stock or aftermarket struts.

Make sure you get the car aligned afterward.

I read somewhere that instead of a spring compressor use a ratchet strap, havent tried it yet but just a tip I heard instead of renting/buying a spring compressor. my .02
