shouldnt be too hard to install because you can just take off the whole stock struts with the spring still on them so it wont be as bad as doing just springs.

ya, putting in coils is really easy, by taking it all out at once you don't have to compress the springs or anything, unless you're using the same strut, but i suggest getting brand new ones. but its' really easy, and fun to mess around with, my car is a little on the hot rod style with my coils.

remember if you lower it any more than id say around 1.75"-2" youll start to need a camber kit, so keep that in mind

if you don't get a camber kit and you got it slammed with no support it could really mess up your suspension, too much stress without support.
