Are you buying them new? If so, there are instructions enclosed with the springs. Yes you will need a spring compressor, but other than that, its a very simple procedure. I recommend C/C (Caster/Camber) plates as well as new shocks to finish the package.

This works great for fox body, and might possibly work for you?

my recommendation from removing my stock ones and having to put them back is just jack the car up really really really high so you can push down on the control arms to get those suckers in.

good article..how much are you lowering it? If it's more than 1.5" you gotta put in longer ball joints to restore the steering geometry.
