You need to use a spring compressor to install.
However if you're going to go with lowering springs, you should get some better shocks or gas struts. I've heard that going this route is better than getting coilovers because it's set at a standard height already whereas if you get coilovers, you set your own and u can go too low and do some damage, and u might need a camber kit doing so. |

 spring compressor is a tool to help removing/installing springs since they are usually under compression. i installed mine myself and didnt use a spring compressor, no big deal. just e careful unscrewing the nut when taking them off. to put the front springs on i just used the help of my bros body weight  on the 6g, only the fronts are under compression, so no need to worry about the back
