spring recomendations

I am considering replacing my springs (fore and aft) this summer and was wondering if one has a good brand to use? How hard is it to change the springs?

Are you going to do the work yourself?

Jalvord, changing springs is pretty easy and only take an hour or so if you rent a spring compressor.

I think the real question is what are you planning for your car? Are you going to keep in on the street or make a track only car, or something in-between?

You may want to decide what you want and then get springs that match that application.
