Spring Install?

Anyone ever attempted this as a DIY garage project?

Anything I ought to know?

Attempting this with hand tools and maybe an electric impact.

And yes, duh, a spring compressor

Pretty straight forward. Its a lot easier then most other cars!

It would be helpful to have an air compressor and an impact gun.

Also renting out a spring compressor would be necessary.

Well, I've got the springs.

The guy sold 'em to me for $20, all four! Still in the box they were delivered to him in.

They're blue, and supposed to give me a one inch drop.

I'm thinking eibach... But I'm not at all positive, anyone have a clue?
