Anyone have a recommendation for a shop in Chicagoland that can install the Tein's? Or are they easy enough for DIY?

Installing coilovers are super easy. Adjusting them perfectly takes the longest. Pick a decent weekend and you should be able to have it done in 3-6 hours depending on your skill level.

Coilovers are quite easy to install. But if you don't have the tools or free time to do it, you can try user "Chrisman". He has a shop in Palatine.
