    springs are pretty easy to install, i would say do it yourself, i wouldn't pay money to do it.

    are you going to use the factory shocks?
    How hard are they to put in?

    well you don't need a car lift to do it... and since they're just springs you basically just take out the shock and replace the springs... i did mine myself using the factory shocks, but i had coilovers so they were more of a pain in the ass. plus my bushings were seized so i had to replace those, but yours shouldn't be since it's a newer.

    If a spring goes a little wonky dont let go of it and run You might hurt someone/something.

    Go down to crappy tire (Canadian tire) and they have a lend a tool program. Just give them your visa card they will imprint it and the spring tool will be yours for seven days. No cost or anything (ithink) pretty much for free.
