Default DIY Front and Rear Suspension Replacement?

Just received my Eibach Sport-System kit today, was going to attempt to install, is there a DIY specifically for this or one similar? I have searched quite a bit, will I need to cut my bump stops? It's for my 2000 hatcher.

I found this:

But it's not the most helpful, it would be great if the guide included the removal of the plastic in my hatch to access the rear shock towers.. And I don't absolutely need a spring compressor?

If you guys could just toss me some links to read through it would be a great help. I am aware of the search function, thanks.

Lots. Search for "civic damper install" or stuff, also on Google (like here).

Really.

Check here.

'course not. You just risk knocking off heads and other parts.
