Nope, not hard to do. You can find instructions on Megamax's website http://integra.vtec.net/geeser/megamax/springs.html
You'll need these sockets:
12mm
14mm
17mm
19mm (deep socket)

These tools:
Spring compressor
Torque wrench
Jackstands
Screwdriver

The only major thing left out of the directions on that page is how to get the brake line unclipped from the struts. It is held on with a little clip that you can push off using a screwdriver. Just push it off towards the car, not towards you. It can take some wrestling to get the front struts out once they are disconnected. But that's only because they're heavy and big and the wheel well is small.
