I own a 99 GS 400, and i was thinking about slowly but surely purchase the L Tuned package and i was going to start with the suspension, and i was wondering is it possible for a person that has never installed anything but a license plate holder to install this kit?

SC,
anything is possible...but when it comes to springs and shocks, if your tech exp is limited to putting on license plate, i highly recommend you to go to a tech guy, or a shop. have you ever heard of "spring compressor"? if not, def spend the few hundred and ask someone to do it for you.
nothing personal, just some safety siiues are involved.
l-tuned stuff is great for the price, look and function. i am sure you know where to get them at a good deal, right?
will

The other factor is the 4wheel alignment that is necessary after the suspension change/modification.
Take it to a pro.

My dealer charged $440 for install and alignment and the springs/shocks were $530 I think, so for less than $1K you get a MUCH improved ride.
You might find an independent shop but I got my dealer to do it so they would a) fix it if there was ever a problem (given their reputation I know they're going to do that) and b) never question that some other problem was related to the install done by someone else.
