    You certainly could. The only major tool you will need is a spring compressor. You will need it to take off the stock springs. I didn't need for the lowering springs, because they are shorter in length, and with enough force they go on with out the compressor. Other then that its just nuts and bolts. Also, if you have old worn out struts, its recommended to replace them. Make sure to realign the car after you lower it. Goodluck.

      This depends on how mechanically inclined you are.

        It's not that hard at all to intall springs, but if you've never worked on a car before you might want to call someone to help you out or take the car to a shop. A spring compressor can be 'rented' from Autozone. You just give them a $50 or so deposit and once you return the compressor they give you your money back. Expect to spend the weekend on installing the springs if you've never done it before.......

        while you're out there, you might as well adjust your air/fuel ratio by smell... and your tire pressure by ride height
