How difficult is a spring replacement?

[theassuager]

I am contemplating buying some Eibach prokit springs for my 15 coupe, but I have zero idea how hard/ involved the job is. Is this a pretty easy swap? Is it on the same level of an oil or brake pad change? Anything to look out for?

I don't want my car to handle like my grandma's 87 Camry .

Thanks guys.

It's easier with two people. Doing by yourself can be very challenging.

also, you might want to rent an impact gun because using a socket is a huge pain in the ***.. you will be worn the hell out haha

Also make sure you buy or rent a spring compressor. I've seen plenty of videos of people who just whizz of the nut with an impact and parts go flying everywhere at a good enough speed to hurt someone.

yeah that's what I was referring to, tightening the spring compressor. did it to a friends accord the other day and it was horrible since he didn't have an impact. I had to tighten the compressor by hand
