Do it yourself and save some money...
Its not real complicated if you have some basic tools and some mechanical know-how.
The only thing you will need to get is a Rental Strut Spring compressor from your localAuto parts store and make sure you get an alignment after doing the drop.
Its really not hard at all.
I bet getting the Endlinks off will be the hardest parts of the job.

Yes, everyone says it's easy, but if you're not proficient at putting your car up on jackstands and don't have the best set of tools, it is likely to be a difficult job.
Conceptually it's easy, yes. But once you get out there with a breaker bar and try to undo some of the bolts, you'll realize that it's quite a bit of work.
Like when I did my springs, it took me a while to figure out good jackstand positions and stuff like that, before I could even begin installing.
If it's your first time doing this kind of work on a car... it's not easy.

Wow..If you had trouble with the jackstands...Yeah..you should have stopped there.
Its definately not for those with "minimal" Mechanical know-how....and not knowing where to position jackstands...qualifies you in that category.
Sorry man.

Yeah, that was exactly my point. I'm not a mechanic. Neither is this guy.
BTW, what I said about the jackstands was only an "example" of stuff people take for granted...
