Installing tein lowering springs (FD3S)

This weekend I'm installing tein springs and I will be using the coil over install on the FAQ. My question is on the stock springs for the FD is their a nut that I have to remove to take the spring off and will it have pressure ? Thanks again

You will need a spring compressor to remove the stock springs. There is a nut, and it is under pressure. The springs must be compressed to remove them from the assembly.

Ok, so it's just like any other spring install on any other car that requires a spring compressor ?
