Are there any good tutorials on how to do it?

I have a very lame jack, so I don't want to attempt anything that you know I could die from. Sorry for the thread hijack by the way lol.

oh and i don't know about a tutorial. It is pretty straightforward. Really the hardest part will be putting the brakes back on, which isn't even bad.

I never had mine installed but i was quoted for $200, the guy's a friend though so i would say zatrekaz's expense is probably a good base to go off of.

There are plenty of write-ups to go around, you DO NOT need, nor do you want to use a spring compressor. I would say at least a couple hours of labor, so anywhere from $150-300.

I debated using a spring compressor when i installed my springs... there is no need for it, you can push your control arm down far enough to get the spring out/in.
