I did it at home, however, if you don't want to do the spring compressing yourself (I didn't really want to, person giving me a hand had a bad experience with one!), ask a local shop. One by my area did it for $20 (swapped stock springs from stock shocks to Koni's), even with putting up with the rusted nuts and all. It definitely made the job pretty simple.
im using eibach pro kit so those specs proly wont help, and yea i do plan on getting it aligned if i have time, dealers close at 3. and if i run into a problem, ill def take em to a shop haha thx guys!
Springs shouldn't matter, the specs should be the same. You are changing the geometry with your Pro-kit slightly differently than if you put on Strano's (might be a slight height difference), but the specs you want afterward will probably be the same! The alignment basically just controls how you want the car to handle by adjusting how the tires touch the road and how the steering geometry controls the car, or how fast you want your tires to wear 
If you need to you can watch my install video. Should be cake after that. Vid in my sig. I didn't get an alignment after my stranos and 5,000 miles later my tires are still perfect. No uneven wear or anything.
haha i made another thread asking for the link to your videos!! ill be using it!
here is the finished product in case any one wanted to see it. only hit one snag in the install, and that was that i didnt know that the bottom perch on the front shocks spun. it was so dirty it looked like one big solid piece, so the shock didnt fit into the holes. but i made a thread on here and they let me know that the bottom piece spun. so thank god for ls1tech
front is a little lower then that, as it is sitting on an incline so the weight is transfered to the rear. thx guys!
