Let's get a tool count...I'll be bringing 4 jackstands, combo wrenches and socket wrenches, and torque wrenches. I have a jack but it's huge and I'd rather not bring it..

Youre going to need at least 4 jackstands, 1 jack and all of the neccesarry tools. No spring compressor needed. You may want to have at least 4 1 foot sections of 2x4 to set the car on after lowering so you can the jack out from under the car.

Now of course this is per car so if you're doing 2 at a time you'll need 8 jackstands. If I can make it I'll bring enough tools to get most of it done. I'll let you know very soon if I can make it.

Instead of 2x4's you can also you a spare tire jack to drop down onto before lowering all the way...

the car may be too low to use the oem jack and still get it out when your done, 2x4's or any other pieces of scrap would be the easiest.
