what springs?
Valve springs?
Suspension springs?

The rear spring is very straight forward, the front is a bit of a pain (you'll neet to disconnect the upper A-arm from their mounts, etc.)

Check out LS1howto.com, lot's of good info there. (here is the link to the pring swap http://ls1howto.com/index.php?article=20)
