You need to make sure you have a leak down tester so you can pressurize the cylinder. If you dont pressurize the cylinder you will drop a valve when you remove the valve spring keepers.

I think he's talking about suspension... Not valve springs.

And just make sure you use a spring compressor to remove the springs. You might have to use one to put the new ones on but generally they're short enough you don't have to.

I agree. Also maybe some PB Blaster for the bolts. You never know if you might need it. Good luck and let us know what all materials you used. Im looking to buy springs and install them as well. But I do not want my car sitting on jack stands for 3 weeks just because some bolts are on back order.
