Default How to: Changing out front springs

I searched and found HFP DIY springs changout, but nothing on others. So with that said, I know how the rear springs change out, but on the front, with just the springs being switched, any suggestions? Pics are nice if you have them.

Im going with Skunk2's it appears. Great price, looks like a great product!

No replies, did I say something wrong? I know this needs to be in a different thread, right? Its just that I get better replies here than in the other threads dealing with 06+ specific questions.

I kinda figured Id need spring compressors. But I can do that! It would be worth the pain and time to get a 1.5 & 1.75 drop and stiffer ride!

Nope, good to go! Thanks! I looked at your pics, they are really good, nice step by step pics. I hope my new Skunk2's look as well as your Teins (spelling) do. Im still running OEM tires/wheels, so after this and I aim at getting those changed out, my new (under 4k miles) EX Coupe should be lookin' good!

Did I see Craftsman tools being used there? Wise choice, Weedhopper!
