I almost feel like I've got suspension swaps down to an art. 
Just to add to what's already been said:
After removing the old setup (prob the most time consuming part if you've got rusty parts) and removing the old springs (prob the scariest part), you'll just need to put the GC's on the Konis, and put it all back in. Personally, I find it easier to set them high and then lower them as necessary. It just seems easier to see how much lower you want it to be rather than the other way around. Good luck, have fun, and post pics.

if you are doing the spring and shock together, theres no need for the spring comprssor. just swap the whole thing in. the hardest part will be removing the nuts and bolts.
i didnt read the above post, so i dunno if it has been said already.

by the way, i didnt see it mentioned so i figured id tell you. im not real sure if you absolutely NEED them, but you have to get adapters from GC for the to be able to work together, the adapters are just little metal rings inside the red colars. the will cost 106 shipped. i am not sure but if you dont have them you may be able to get by with out them, youd have to look into it, i have no idea.

also i just did my front ones a few weeks ago, real easy exceopt for spring compressing, that a pain. other than that it is really easy. but if you have an older civic, have fun with the bolts through the lower rear control arm:thumbup: , i still havent gottten mine out, therefor i am still on rear stock shocks, it sucks.
