Yeah, installing a new set of springs is pretty easy but if you don't even know what tools are required then you should get it done professionally.

Takes me about 30~45 minutes per suspension (oh and I'm not great with tools btw).

You will need spring comprssors, sockets and spanners.
remove strut, compress spring, take off top hat, remove spring, place in new spring and reverse sequence. depending on what spring you use the new one may not need compressing.
can do without a compressor, but im not going into that as per suggestions above.
