depends on what fitment wheel you get to whether you will need to arch work the back is so easy it takes 15 mins a side just jack it up undo the top mount on the shock then the spring will fall out undo the bottom and the shock if off do te reverse to put it back together the front is more difficult you will need spring clamps to clamp teh springs right up undo the top nut take the spring off and take the shock out and put it all back together again the front is more like an hour a side if you have not done it before

dont bother fitting just springs with a 60mm drop. the standard dampers will fail in no time.
as for the rears, its far easier to remove the bottom 17mm bolt on the strut than the topmount.

Using lowered springs with full length standard dampers isn't recommended. The amount of times when the rear springs have come out when the car is jacked up on a ramp.
If your'e going to lower your car, do it properly and buy uprated shortended shocks as well as lowered springs.
