Im going to be installing new Koni SA shocks this weekend and wanted to know if there are any special tools required. Ive never messed with springs/shocks before. Any instructions, advice would be great

Tools needed are your basics, ratchet and sockets covering metric and standard ranges, along with open/box ended wrenches in same range.
A rubber mallet, a regular mallet, and a hammer, for negotiations with stubborn parts.
Spring compressor for the front springs.
Possibly a pickle fork to pop the ball joint, though the mallet and a screwdriver can work as well, just have to be more careful.
The top shock nut may be completely rusted up. A good spray lube for rusted nuts/bolts could be useful. Torching is tough without risking damage to upper a-arm. Vice grips may be necessary as well because once you get the nut loose, the whole shock shaft is going to want to spin in the assembly.
