Step by step spring install?

I am getting my car dropped on Ct's tommororw, and I wanted to know if there is a step-by-step that somebody has posted. I want to make sure the mecanic (spelled wrong) will not have any issue like taking out the back seat. Thanks

You don't need to take out the seats for the CT springs. I think you only have to do that with coilovers.

The seats need to come out no matter what regardless of coilovers or springs

You will need to remove the backseats, thats very easy though. I installed my eibach's in 1 day without air tools, without a lift, and without a spring compressor. It's really not that difficult. A mechanic should be able to do it easily.

Without a spring compressor is asking for trouble man! Don't do it if you value your life! Have you heard about using the correct tools to do the job?! Not trying to be smart or anything, just trying to help with a safety issue!

Yes, the rear seat will have to come out for top of rear shock nuts. Gook luck with your new suspension. You will love the lowered look!
