Default DIY spring install

I received Espelir springs last week, and was considering doing my own install. Has anyone written a how-to on the swap? Do I need anything besides basic tools and a spring compressor? I don't have a service manual, so I don't know the torque specs for any of the bolts. Can anyone help me out on this? Thanks in advance.

Other than a spring compressor, it should be pretty much a wratchet set....I think..

you will need extensions on the wratchet set (mm) (probably for the rear). Allen key for the top of the struts when you tighten it.

use that link, it should be almost the same, except with stock shocks and esplier springs.
