My Dad and I used McPherson strut style compressors (hook on springs, crank on nuts deal) to take the pressure off the front springs. We left a few coils un-compressed and cut them with a die grinder, buzzzzzz POP! It was a little sketchy but worked well. Dropped the car 1.5 inches in the front and about .75 in the rear, car sits squat and flat. The only downfall I've found so far is that I can't get our floor jack underneath the front spoiler.
No Spring compressor is necessary for the back, put a jack underneath the axle, unbolt and drop the axle down. We had to seperate the axle from the lower trailing arms in order to get it down far enough.
Took about 2 - 2.5 hours for someone with a LOT of experience. Give yourself a day.
