Start as early as possible, not much fun lowering a car in the dark.
Front struts are a b*****d without air tools!
Be prepaired for something to go wrong - it usually does.
Some bolts maybe totally the wrong size to what they are supposed to be.

(all from personal experience)

It's easy enough, if you've done it before on other cars then it shouldn't be any trouble at all.
