Springs are more involved as you will need to compress the OEM springs to get them out and may have to do the same putting new ones in. You absolutely have to align the front end after a spring change.

i see what your saying here about the struts. but when replacing the strut wont it be difficult to compress the strut to get it back in place? or am i to use the jack to compress the strut back in place?
