Advice installing Eibach lowering springs

I bought a set of Eibach Springs at the MSA show. Is the change over a simple swap, or are there any tricky procedures to get the old springs off?
I have access to a car lift so I can get underneath easy enough. I don't know if the old springs need to be compressed, or do they just come out...

Is this your first time changing springs? It's quite simple. Pull off the old springs, put on new ones.

You'll want to use a spring compressor on the old springs. But I've heard that the lowering springs dont need to be compressed to be reinstalled. But if they do then you'd already have the compressor from having to take the original springs off.
