Default Installing springs yourself

How hard is it to install springs w/ 2 people? And if it isnt that hard what equipment would I need to install them?

Look down the posts here, theres a link to an install on one of the posts. The rears are easy, front will require spring compressor and alot more disassembly than I'm comfortable doing myself. You'll also need to have the car realigned after doing the fronts. This is on my mod list for sometime this summer, extra funds dependant of course...

I just did it yesterday. It took my brother-in-law and I abot 5 hours to do it because we didnt have a spring compressor. We found it much easier to just take out the drive shafts and put them in that way. I dont recommend it for the inexperienced. If I could do it over I would just pay someone $100 to do it.
