From what I can gather, the front is a strut/spring combo, so you need to remove that assembly, compress the spring to remove it, compress the new spring and install.
The rear is much easier to get to on the car, just compress, remove and then compress new spring to install...
Need jack stands and a decent floor jack.
I have way over simplified it but you should be able to do it.

Thanks Stew4HD, I will more than likely attempt the job next Saturday.
Nexson, I'm pretty handy and have the tools needed for this job. Shops in S. FL are pretty expensive so will tackle this job myself, and some help from a buddy. I'll let you know how it comes out.

If you have the tools, I am sure you can. I wish I would have done it myself!
If you guys can, please document the project. I am sure that others will benefit from what you learn and do!

Any update on this? The fronts look straight forward. The rears I'm not sure about. It looks like I have to compress the rear spring while its on the car and not touch anything else. Any info would be great.

Simple job if you have all the right tools. Air gun or electric gun (makes your job easier), floor jack, two jack stand or one if that's all you have. You will need an extra hand. The rear is simple. Remove the wheel and remove 3 bolts and the spring will pop out (***be careful to have a floor jack supporting the bottom of the springs before you remove the last bolt, otherwise the pressure of the springs will shoot to the ground. Front is a little more work but not hard, just takes more time because you have to compress the springs to get it out and compress the new springs to get it back on. Most shops will charge 6-10 hours of labor. I did mine in about 3 hours with the help of my brother. Another helping hand is need! Check out this coil over install for picks of what you should remove. The instructions are not exactly to the point but will help reference you during the install. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sus...0-f-sport.html
