installing coilovers are not really hard. just need 4 jack stands( to make it easier, but 2 can be done) It something you can do in a day and with basic knowledge in my opinion. The hardest part is getting the dang thing in the right ratio of front height to rear height. Look in jasonZ 101 thread on stock height then minus the drop you want from the numbers. hope this helps ya.
