Default How hard is it to upgrade C5 springs?

I'm considering upgrading the springs on my C5 to T1 racing springs from GMPP. Does anyone know how hard this is to do?

well given that its a leaf spring when the car is raised there seems to be no pressure on them which makes things easier, since u dont need a spring compressor but otherwise im not sure about the difficulty install let me know what u find out :hurray:

See http://ls1howto.com/index.php?article=20

Rear looks pretty easy, front is more involved but not too bad.

Thanks for the info....certainly doesnt look too bad. If I was able to handle sway bars and shocks then I think I can do this also.
