Is the ride alot harder?

Randy posted the videos on how to change the springs. Take a look.

How to replace a rear spring
How to Remove Front Strut Assy. - Video


Notes:

Rear springs a re very easy to replace. No spring compressor required. Took me about 40 minutes to do both sides.



Front ones is a different story.

First you will need to make your own "specialty" tool. You will need to weld 13/16 socket to some old wrench. I used bicycle wrench I found in the garage.

Then you will need to get spring compressor. Here in the States we can rent one for free from any major Auto store. In the Randy's video he did not using the compressor because his springs already modified. Again, do not try to remove the front stock springs from the strut without compressor. Do not ask me how I know. It almost end up pretty bad for me.......

Springs I still settling and probably will go a little bit lower.

13/16 sparkplug socket and a ratcheting box-end works even better.

Unfortunately my torx key would not reach all the way down thru the long spark plug socket, that why I welded the shorter one. It was easier for me then go to the store and find longer T-45.
