Default Basic DIY for spring installation?

I'm looking for basic DIY/write up for installing lowering springs on 92 Prelude. It doesn't have to be prelude specific I just want to read and learn about the jist of it and what I'm doing to the point where I'm comfortable enough to tackle it myself.

I did some seaching for a DIY but I honestly dont know what to search for other than "Spring Install"

Any help or points to other topics covering this stuff would be really helpful

Thanks Guys!

The process is essentially the same for nearly all vehicles that use coil springs over shocks.

Strut based cars would be different, but no so much that you couldn't figure it out just following instructions for a wishbone car. The key difference being, the strut is structural, and you'll end up disconnecting more of the suspension before the spring is removed.
