Nall all you doing is replacing your shocks and springs. It should come with new bolts. BTW which brand you get

Before installing them check the condition of your ball joints, tie rods, end links, axle half shafts. If any of them show any issue replace them.

Otherwise the installation is pretty straight forward. Spray some penetrating lubricant on the rear and front lower mount bolts a day or two in advance to make your life easier.

Yes, use liquid wrench on those bolts especially if the car has lived up north all its life. Also, a helper will be beneficial. You'll need a ratchet set and a 17mm wrench. Thats it.

17mm ratchet or air gun
17mm wrench

Do I need a spring compressor?

Not necessarily. There's other, more dangerous ways to do it. I didn't use one.

If they're one piece coilovers like D2, Function Form, etc - No you don't need a spring compressor.

Same here, I was scared for my life
