Just try you local shop's, tell them what you have and need to be done. Go to a couple different ones and see what they give you for a price. Its hard to tell you the best place, because every area has different pricing, also we dont know whats around you.

If you have the parts they should install them with out a problem. If a shop won't, another will, its still money in their pocket.

Most shops will install loweriing springs and shocks if you ask them, it really isnt any extra labor to install aftermarket springs/shocks than it is stock ones.

yea most shops definetly will install them, there are always those few that arn't allowed to because of "liability"

shocks and springs. Thats a pretty normal price. I think i paid something like 180 for all four struts/shocks

I am not all that mechanically inclined and I did mine myself in a little under 5 hrs. Went to Autozone rented a spring compressor and did two wheels at a time.

Yea, Its super easy to do just the hard part is finding a reliable spring compressor. I've thought about making my own because they are really a simply design.

For putting in all four stuts and springs you'll need to go to a shop unless you have the mech to align your front. you could do the backs but the fronts you'll need to realign.
