the rear springs are nothing, jack up lower control arm, unbolt, and lower jack until no presure, switch springs and reverse. now on the front, you *need* a spring compressor. getting the fronts out is easy, you have to take off the spindle, but then to get the acutal spring out, i tied a chain around a couple coils, then through the control arm, so that it couldn't come flying of. then lower your jack, the spring shouldn't pop out until you pull it out with, say, a jack handle, at which point it will violently shoot out, but thats why we have the chain, eh?
