The rears are easy, the fronts are "fun" to say the least. I had airtools, and did the job in 2 hours with a buddy. For the fronts, you absolutely must have a wall mounted spring compressor to swap the springs. A loaded spring can freegin kill you, and the fronts on a tbird are very beefy. Don't even try to use a hand compressor on these things, take it to a shop and have them swap it for you.
Also, i would say that new shocks are a must, unless you just put brand new ones on there recently. Otherwise, you will be kicking yourself when you have a bouncy harsh ride. Worn OE shocks are not up to the task of lowering springs. I have the tokico springs/shocks and it is very firm, and sporty.
Also, get new rubber spring isolators, and lots of white lithium grease.
