Well if it was just the rear I might do it, (I do have a complete lack of tools)
But the front one looks like a bitch to do so I will leave it to the pro's
So far Steeda is the only one I know of and they will charge $200.
has anyone had suspension work done there? I asume they would be good they have a great shop.

The front sway is a tight fit to get a ratchet into and undo stock (seized) bolts. The rear is markedly easier.

The dealer did my Eibach install when I did the S2 suspension last year on the sedan, no grief at all. Sure, it might be a tad pricey but they know their stuff.
