Is this the spring that sits on top of the MacPherson strut?
If so, make sure that you can get the special tools you'll need for this job. You'll need a spring compressor, torque wrench, and all the usual stuff like bottle jack(s) and pry bars for ball joints, etc.
And a place to work. Just be careful, if this is a strut job! These things can be dangerous. I've got a major hole in the sheetrock of my shop, thanks to a crappy home-built looking spring compressor that I rented, and it failed!
