Tips on Spring Install?

Just ordered some Eibachs for 170.99 BRAND NEW!! Anyone have any tips on the install? I have read through tacobill's steeda install several times, but any other tips/tricks that could be helpful?

Thanks in advance to any replies.

instead of taking the bolts out for the sway bar that T/Bill states to take out, just remove the bolt/bolts in the far right in this picture

That way you have to remove two less bolts to do the job.
