[s-cars] Help replacing springs

[Dave Ellis]

Hey Gents,

With some planned brake and control arm work in my near future, I 
figured I might as well look at replacing springs at the same time.

How hard a job is it to replace the springs?  Any special tools needed 
(I figure I'd need a spring compressor)?  Is this a job for a someone 
with only hand tools who is mechanically competent but has never forayed 
into suspension repair before?  Any BTDTs or 'things to look out for'?

Thanks All!
