coilovers are actually easier to install than springs. Rears are easy on both and about the same. Coilover fronts usually come preassembled, so all you have to do is pull out the front shock/spring assembly and bolt the coilover assembly in. With springs only, you need a spring compressor to remove the spring from the shock and to reinstall the new spring. With eibachs especially, that pretty much requires taking the unit to a shop to have them use the hydraulic press, as the old school spring compressors wont compress the eibach spring enough, the coils are too close together.
