Springs Installation

So here we go!

I just bought Sprint Springs from Suspensionmax.com. Now Im waiting for the order to come in.
*Searching was done*
So i figured out this, I got a guy, hes like a mechanic, he's done brakes, and everything for me and he knows lots about cars but he drives a Pontiac. So im worried about this installation. What do i need? A spring compressor for sure, okay. What else? How long? Is their a website that has a step by step kinda thing, any help would be GREAT! I am using the stock shocks for now, dont have the money to buy new ones so I can live with the bumping, I will post pictures of course but just need help getting these babies on the Cam.
Thanks

just go buy a haynes manual at crappy tire, they're like 20$

you'll need some fairly large sockets and wrenches, a hammer, some wd40

those bolts can be pretty damn rusted on, a breaker bar is a good thing to have, maybe even a couple feet of small steel pipe

See the thing is, I have done the brakes for the Cam and the bolts broke off, really rusty and I dont want that to happen when I install the Springs. Any info on rustiness.
