I have read through the pots reguarding coilover vs springs and think I will put coilovers onto my upcoming IS350 (2 weeks to go!).
I am leaning on the kit from "Tien" since the price is good and they seem to have a very good rep on this forum and across the net in general. But I was wondering if the kit comes with installation instructions as well as have hard is it to do this install without a lift.
I have access to good help in the form of my father-in-law who has been a mechanic for about 60 years. He may already have all the tools we would need but some general help in the installation area would be great. If a website is around with very good installation guides or tips please post them here as well. Thanks in advance for everyones help.

if you're planning on buying the Tein SS coilovers, make sure you have a spring compressor on hand. it does not come with the upper mounts, so you'll have to compress them to get the top mounts off to reuse on the Tein SS. or you can buy another set of upper mounts. if you decide on the CS coilover, i believe it comes with the package. as long as you have a jack and jackstands and a decent amount of mechanical ability you should be fine.
