Default INSTALLING COILOVERS!!!! question

Need to know if this is something that i can install my self, or do i have to bring it to someone that does this. I live in Lafayette, Louisisana and dont know of anybody that installs coilovers, or at lease somebody that i can trust. In the past i lower my car myself with just simple springs, and shocks. Is this really that hard, or is there something i should know before doing it....thanks guys!!!!!

regardless of springs/shocks or coilovers, the install is going to be the same. I got my coilovers installed for $180. If you're mechanically inclined and know how to rip apart a suspension then you can do this yourself.

I did mine myself, its not that hard if you have any mechanical apptitude at all. Just like anything else, the first one is the hardest, then you pretty much should know how to do the other side.
