Should I tackle this myself????

Ok, I am the first to admit that I am still learning how to work on my own car and dont know everything there is to know. I am wanting to do some suspension work and want to take it on myself instead of paying someone. There is only one thing....am I going to be able to do this....

I am about to order eibach springs, adjustable panhard rod, and LCA brackets (weld-in). Obviously, I am not a welder and know I cant do that part. I am just wondering if I am going to be able to do the springs mostly.

I have searched on this forum and found a couple of good links with pretty detailed instructions. I guess I am just worried about screwing something up when I do the front ones.

Anyway, after all that, is this something I should do myself or should I get someone who knows what they are doing and pay way too much...lol. Thanks in advance.

I'd say get the bolt-on relocation brackets and then have someone else just tac weld them on for extra strength. The PHR shouldn't be that difficult. If you're not getting new shocks with the new springs then you'll be very disappointed in the ride. Plenty of people have done them themselves, just search around for some instructions and go for it.
