Front springs install instructions

Could someone provide simple worded instructions on how to install front springs?

I think I already figured out the rear springs by inspection:
1. Unbolt lower rear strut bolts
2. Lift vehicle
3. Remove springs.

instead of buying new front washers, use old ones with loctite. THats what I did and works fine, Instructions ay to get new but save a few bucks and re use original ones instead. Good Luck You will like the results.

Jack up the car, set it on jack stands. Then use the jack to compress the spring a lil. then remove the lower bolt on the shock. Then lower the jack to release the tension on the spring...reverse to install new springs.....For the fronts...I would refer to the Hotchkis website if you are unfamiliar with spring installs and check out the tC for a reference
