Its simple man, pick up a haynes manual or something. I did my first DIY on my own gsr and had 0 problems. Its pretty much self explanatory what you have to do and what to remove, but you will need the torque specs. What you will need..

Tools: Jack stands, floor jack, 12mm socket and 14mm socket (might need 1 smaller one to get the brake line off of the shock), spring compressor

Parts: 4 shocks, 4 coilovers, 4 bumpstops (if your shocks didn't come with them then reuse your stock ones, cut the front ones in half), some type of dust cover for your shock.

It would also be good to have some Liquid Wrench or WD40. Some bolts are going to be stubborn to get off. Spray them ahead of time and let it sit, respray if you need to. Have any questions PM me
