i did mine myself.

the back is real easy. unbolt the lower shock and then place a floor jack under the lower control arm. next remove the inner control arm bolt. lower the jack and let the control arm come down. pull out the spring and replace with the new one.

the front is a little more involved, but very do-able yourself.

it took me about three hours to change the springs. i am using eibach sportlines. they are powdercoated and that maybe the reason they cost more than other brands. i am sure the other brands line sprint, goldline, and springtech are all just as good.
