Swift Spring Install

In a few weeks im going to order my Swift springs. From what i have read these are some of the best, but if anyone has any negatives about them, please share with me, or if you suggest any other springs. But i am wanting to know how difficult it is to do the install. I installed eibach springs and stock shocks on my old 95 civic so i wanna know how it compares to that. I know ill have to rent a compressor but thats no problem. Any help would be great.

Here is a link for you. I'm about to get the swift springs myself and I know I can put the rears myself since I have taken them out before when I had to install the progress sway bar.

Swift makes some of the best engineered springs out there.
They are well designed for the Fit dynamics and I believe are the only ones out there that are 'linear' rate springs. They are mild drop springs at 1.3"f/1.0"r and do not sag over time. Good handling and ride quailty too.

As far as install, the rears are super easy. The fronts you need a spring compressor of course, but its the same as any honda spring installs.

I have these for sale in the classsifeds by the way! (shameless plug)
I moved on to coil-overs.
