very easy to do, couple hours id say, go rent some spring compressors from outozone or by some, like $20.

yeah, some of those bolts can be a *****. its really straight forward, just make sure you have a breaker bar and wd40.

coilovers are much less of a hassle than spring/shock combo just because you dont need to use a spring compresser.
yea, compressing the springs is a real *****. everything else is pretty easy.

coilovers are so easy to install lol. autozone will lend you spring compressors for free. you should go with some aftermarket shocks too or you will be replacing blown shocks in a few months
