Default lowering with pro-kit question....general

ok so my prokit came in today, and i called this shop by here JUST to see how much they would want to tip me off for installing them, and he said 350+tax.

so my question is if i get a spring compressor tool would it be hard to install it in my garage?
also if anyone has any pics or tips that would be greatly appreciated

thx, mladen

I paid 250 for install and alignment. They did the alignment twice too. They installed, aligned and told me to come back in a hundred miles. Then aligned again. Just keep calling around, my buddy hated putting them on.
