I would just bring it to a mechanic, it does require some special tools and depending on how big of a spring you are trying to use there may be clearance issues which require machining. I cant imagine it being more then 200-300 for labor.

It depends how mechanically inclined you are. If he's replacing the stock springs with ls1/ls6, I don't see how he would run into any issues with fitment requiring machining. Why do you want to replace the springs, preventative maintainence, are you close to stock, do you have a cam, more info please.

definitely NOT for the novice. if you're not 100% confident with ripping apart an engine and piecing it back together, i suggest you have it done professionally.
