If your asking how to install them, then you really shouldnt be installing them on your own man.
We have a DIY for it, not very helpful to noobs.
It takes about 4-6hours depending on how easy the bolts are.
I donno how much it costs to do it professionally, not much I dont think 150ish?
If you really wanna try go ahead...
Listen lugs on front rims.
Jack car up.
Take off lubs remove rims.
Take off the 4 bolts you see, you have to use a hammer to pound them towards you, you do not take a socket and lossen them, they slid out, but it's in plcae really well.
Take off the pin and I believe thas about it for the front strut on the bottom end.
After that pop the hood and take off 3 bolts on each side.
With allan wrench take off the top center piece while using a wrench that fits.
The strut should come loose.
Repeat sides.
Take apart the stock assembly watch out the top black cap likes to jump, use a long screw driver and step away.You need to cut the perch and bump stomps about half way.
Reassemble stock parts on coils.
Put it all back hook everything, make sure brake line isn't tangeled.

Basically I gave you the worst DIY in the wolrld, Im jus tryin to help you out by makin you go to a pro to do it if you never done this before.
Well, good luck.

Why are you asking this again man? You last thread was moved to the Suspension forum. GO there. Vnlilman answered you question and gave you 2 DIY's.
