Get a Helms manual. It's the best manual for anything you want to know about your car.

the easiest way to uncompress the stock springs is to leave the car on the ground, then remove the nut onthe top of the spring hat. the weight of the car will hold the spring down. slowly jack up the car and the spring will uncompress itself you then simply remove the spring. you will not need to worry about it on the reinstall as the new springs will be shorter.

you can do it that way, but for safety I would suggest using a spring compressor. Lots of places will rent them out to you, just call around and find one.

This is a HOW-TO for a coil-over suspension kit...but its the same when doing drop-springs.

EDIT: You will need to rent a spring compressor inorder for you to take out and instal the new springs. And remember to trim the bumpstops according to the suggested spec.

actually i think the best manual you can get for your car is the year service/shop manual from your acura dealership kinda expensive but well worth it

if you do it the way i said you can use the car as the spring compressor. this is actually safer than a spring compressor.
