its not that hard really, you just need a breaker bar and a few sockets, maybe a spring compressor.

Rep Power: 295 well i have my rear d-specs on and the install went smooth as butter... as for the fronts i just installed my H&R springs in all four corners...i didnt have time and couldnt find a drill bit so i wasnt able to install the d-specs in the front but in the morning im gonna take it to a machine shop near where i live which should have the 16mm hardened steel countersink bits which is what is needed for the holes...after my trial and errors i decided to take the fronts to a shop to get machined out cuz they would know how to do it properly with a drill press and whatnot

Rep Power: 0 UPDATE
I finally got them on!!! Started @ 11 AM just finished @ 6 PM. Reason it took so long, the wife of the guy who installed them for me took his truck in the middle of the install. He needed his truck cause he didn't have a 16mm drill bit and needed to go find one. His wife went to the mall and took about 2 hours to get back.
Install costed me $100, I passed on the DIY cause I didn't have the necessary tools and space to do so.
All in all the ride is great, the back is a little higher than the front but I'll give it time to settle. The guy said I didn't need my rear camber kit, but I'll give it time if it feels like I do I'll put them on if not I'll sell them.
I'll get pics up tomorrow right after work and after I get it aligned. Thank you all for the info and tips you all provided. Rep will be passed.

Rep Power: 0 He didn't find one. He used a smaller size and just kept shaving till he got it to 16mm. I have faith in his work but I still have this side of me thats hoping he got it exactly. I don't want it falling off on me.

Rep Power: 0 Ok, fixed the rattling problem. Turns out when the car started to settle in the rear everything was pretty much got loose. I just needed to tighten the rear more. Now I need to go and put on my EM2 sticker and take some pics.
