Breaker Bar also..saves a bunch of time. It is very easy. It took my dad and I about 7 hours to do it. No breaker bar..took alot of time to get the bolts off. Thats all the problems we ran into.

You can find socket sets at most hardware stores. I would also suggest getting a "vise grip". It really isn't very hard to install springs, 4 rating. Check out http://www.vfaq.com/index-main.html ,under suspension. Make sure to put the black rubber bushings in the same order they came out. Take your time installing or else u can screw up like me . . .

oops i thought you were waskin if you needed a spring compressor, well i didn't use one and i am on my forth set-up and I installed each one myself. yeah on the question on what tools we need i agree with what the others are sayin. Basic socket set, a good breaker bar, vice grips help, i didn't use any liquid wrench but i am sure it would help. ohh yeah at the end you will need a torque wrench to torque the bolts down try to torque them down before puttin the car on the ground and after. some of them you won't be able to but you get the picture. later "Z"
