Default Shock and Strut install info

so my rear shocks are blown and my struts are about to go. im ordering Tokico HP performance S/S and was wondering if there are any tricks to installing them myself. the shocks wont be a problem but the struts are what i am really wondering about. these are the ones i am going to order. http://www.racinglab.com/tok-hp-126.html

any advice/help/info on installing will be appreciated.

just rent a spring compressor from the local auto shop, i.e. advance discount, autozone, etc. and compress the front springs when u go to change the shocks. its just a safety precaution. other then that, a monkey can install em. sort of..
