Looking at the Eibach Springs. Have my car up on jack stands now and changing out rotors, calipers and pads. Would like to lower the car just a little, not sure how to remove those springs. How difficult is it? Any specific tools I need? Thx.

I'm doing the same project right now. Looks like you just remove the shock. Use an outside spring compressor to compress the spring (bought mine from Harbor Freight pretty cheap). Then you pull out the upper spring cap, it has a notch and should pull right out. Now just pull the spring over the top. Reverse process to install.

Bingo! At least thats how it is on a GEN II, never done another GEN so can't speak for those.
