I had my suspension swapped at a garage...took about 4 hours, which included the 4-wheel alignment too. This cost me a few hundred bux, but I don't care, I wanted it done right in the first place, and like the other guys said, didn't have the space or tools to do it myself.
Oh yeah, it doesn't help when SHM gives you the wrong bushings for the swaybars (gave my polyeurethane bushings for SVT bars which are a lot smaller than mine now), and you have to drive the car, un-aligned without the swaybars swapped from Hamilton to Woodstock and back.
I installed the rear swaybar myself though...took like 20 mins, and I used anti-seize compound on all of the bolts and painted the subframe crossmember with flat black paint...

and yeah in the front you have to take the whole strut out and get a secret tool to undo the spring. We just use a socket and and allen key ( I think ) and made it work. It was something along those lines it wasn't anything fancy.

hold up there, we did use an impact wrench. we put the socket in held it in place with some vice grips, then in the hole in the socket we put the allen key in ( not the angle type you're thinking of it's a socket type ) that went into the impact wrench.
it's hard to explain but it worked.
