hey Daniel, I have 2 trolley jacks, you're welcome to borrow the small one if you want. Unfortunately I can't help you out with tools as i'm doin my engine swap this weekend, if I had a flat driveway you could have come around here to do the swap but the garage is the only flat area and it's taken. :P Changing rear springs is a piece of ****, you don't need too many tools either.

tools you will need...

trolley jack (can be done with 2 scissor jacks but is dangerous)
chassis stands
18mm socket
19mm socket
breaker bar
ratchet
6 inch extension bar
and either 15 or 17mm for the 4 top shock tower bolts.

alternativly you could do one side at a time with just one scissor jack...just stick the wheel under the car incase it falls
