it'd help alot if you had a heavy duty jack, if not just make sure to put stones under your front tyres so your car doesnt roll away when you lift the back up....
plus, u can reach the bolts on the front shock absorbers through the engine bay...
another tip, this shouldve been very straight forward, but take your front wheels off when installing the fronts :)

Air tools like an impact gun will make the install so much easier. You will also need a nice set of srping compressors for removing the strut top plate. You can get those for around $50 at Auto Zone or Advanced Auto or a similiar place like that. Take your time, it is not to hard to do.

I saw that advance auto parts will rent you spring compressors.

Yeah, I just bought them, they were only $45, and I have used them twice now.
