I have read the instructions at Grandamgt.com (http://www.grandamgt.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10383) .
1) I was just wondering about other peoples experience and if there were any other suggestions?
2) Also how long did it take you?
3) What is your skill level?
I'm not sure whether I should do it myself or not and was hoping this would either discourage or encourage me to try it myself. Thanx

From what I hear all you need is a little bit of time and a spring compressor tool. Not sure if that is what it is called but that is it's job. Personally i don't trust myself with suspension. If you do it yourself get it to the closest place to your house to get an alignment after your done.

do it yourself...when i put my springs on, the most i'd ever done was swapping wheels...learn as ya go. :)

Just finished! I decided to get new struts and paint my brake calipers too. I definitely need an alignment. I did them by myself so it took most of the day. I wish I had more power tools, i'm exhausted. Anyways pics are on my Cardomain. (http://www.cardomain.com/id/redhot97gagt)
Thanks for you help!
