Its not to hard. I installed coilovers on my neon. The only thing i could think of was that you will need to rent a spring compressor from like an auto zone. B/c the stock spring is so compressed between the strut that u need to relieve pressure off of it so you can take the strut off and put the news springs on.

It took me like 5 hours. I had all the tools so it wasnt that hard. I wish i got springs instead though. Im not sure which brand is better but id go with eibach.
