Default 97 civic rear cut spring replacement help please

I got this 97 civic that i just bought, it has coilovers in the front but the rears seem to be cut, i wanna replace the springs i got a set of adjustable coilovers, i just want to replace them so the *** end aint so damn bouncy, what is involved with putting in adjustable coilovers, i got them cheap and i wanna install these to save for a better setup, i got the adjustsble coilovers with the locking rings and collar , what exactly needs to be done to install these? Just take the strut off pull the crap *** cut springs and install the coilovers and adjust? Or am i missing something?
