Just get a workshop manual for the car (can't remember who makes them, but all auto-shops sell them). This tells you all the steps to follow.
There's nothing special about it really. Buy some spring clamps from SuperCheap Auto (it's possible to get these for pretty cheap) and have a set of sockets & spanners handy. Doing the rears is dead easy. With the fronts it would probably help a fair bit if you have a rattle gun..

look for rollamods website. cant remember the exact link. run a search for it in google or yahoo or something. should find it. it has ROLLAMODS on the url
Flem - I'll be very interested to take a look at your setup some time.. Any idea of the weight difference between your coilover setup and the OEM struts/springs?
