IMO I would get someone to do it if your asking about it. There is alot of taking **** off and putting it back on not to mention if you don't do the springs right they could shoot through your fender wall or even kill you. I got someone I knew to install them and got a good deal. I know a shop is alot of money but this is something you need to do right or it will be leaning.

You can do it yourself but it would be best to get a friend or someone you know to help. When I did mine I had a friend help and it is one of those things that makes you say "I could have done that." I did those with a friend and did my own coilover install and I will be helping another friend do his next week.

It is pretty easy. Just put a few hours aside and your basic tools.

You WILL need someone to help you... to put the new spring into place your going to need someone to push the joint? down and someone to push the spring in, but let me tell you it takes ALOT of energy to push that joint down far enough for the spring to fit.

You can train a monkey in less than an hour to change springs. Its easy do it yourself.

Totally agree. May be kind of intimidating to you but just do it yourself. Very straight forward process. Dont pay anyone to do it......

Like most of these guys said it's pretty straight forward. Find a tech article on how to do it prior to the install. And the lower of a drop you have the easier the springs are to get back in. My 2.5" drop went in, no problem at all.
