Just did this tonight. Just an FYI, in the picture that shows the rear bumpstops they have been pressed on too far. There is a collar with a lower lip and the picture shows the bumpstops down below this lower lip - they should just rest on the lower lip. The first time you really use the bumpstops this will fix itself since the stop will pop over that lip and seal against the top mount, but it might make a nasty noise as it does so.

Also, the rear springs are upside down - the words Eibach should be right side up.

There is zero need for a spring compressor to do this job. If you remove the top nuts on the struts while the car is weighted you can remove the strut/spring and leave the topmounts bolted in the car. On the rear it is helpful to disconnect the sway bar endlink bolt so that you get more vertical movement out of the LCA.
