Where did you get the springs? Haven't done this yet, but Bentley says
you need a spring compressor to do both. If you are lowering springs, I'd
suggest getting new dampers (should be stiffer than stock) for two
reasons:

1) you're already in there
2) stiffer springs need stiffer dampers or the ride gets bouncy when the
springs overcome the damping rate.
