if you are on stock shocks and springs, yes you *should* use a spring compressor to install them (some people don't use one, i did when i swapped out my springs, it's not that much trouble for the safety) essentially, take out shocks from car, compress springs, remove the nut on top and replace the upper mount with the new ones, put nut back on and then uncompress spring and put it back in the car...

at least that's what i did, and i think i did it right :p

here's a decent writeup:

it's much easier to get the nut off if you loosen (sp) it while the shock/strut is still on the car, just don't take it off all the way though (that was the most aggrivating part of my whole swap)
