ben if you have air tools, both springs and coil overs can be done.

as for springs use the weight of the car to compress and decompress the springs

When Dave and Pat did my coilover install last year, the most advanced tool we used was an impact wrench; the only compression we needed to do was to get the top bracket onto the rear coilovers; we were able to compress them by hand.

I'd suggest arriving early for something big like a suspension, so you can get everything necessary ready ahead of time. I have the materials and tools to do my HVAC LED swap, so I'm planning on doing that for Sunday. I'll just need a couple of AC outlets.
