Request: DIY Spring Installation Guide

I was wondering if anyone who has installed lowering springs on their USDM Fit would be willing to put together a step-by-step guide, preferably with pictures, on the procedure.

Once I finally get my Fit in, this (along with some new wheels/tires) is one of the first things I want to do. Although the Fit service manual posted on these boards and guides I've seen for other cars help a little, I'm still not sure if this is something I should tackle myself or if I'll need to have it done professionally. I think hearing and seeing someone's actual experience with it will help make up my mind.

Thanks!

Yea super busy with the weekend parties and grad. parties too.. Tomorrow I'm going to be taking detail pictures of the T1R's since they are already installed and I have to adjust the spring rates. I will take pictures of the OEM stuff and you can see the difference... The OEM stuff will not be install I'm sorry. Please check back for the update...
