I just changed springs on my car (Eibach ProKit), a few things that I noticed:

Using a small telescopic jack instead of a prybar to press the suspension down eased up the strut removal process immensely (after the struts have been unbolted).

I did this both front and rear. In the front I was able to "jack down" the suspension so that the lower strut cleared the lower A-arm and the strut came out real easy.

Same in the rear, which also meant that I did not have to unbolt any other parts than the strut itself.

Really easy job apart from the spring compressor tool that I used which was an endless wrench turning excercise...
