and my moms car, i dont know how to recompress the springs unless there is a special way, lol on second thought i never even try yet considering im lowering it 1 1/2 in. but im just curious

did you take off the spring yet? look at the diy, you can see that the nut barely pops off. just put a towel over it if anything and it should catch it.
As far as recompressing the spring on, you should be able to push it far down enough to get the nut back on. just have a friend help push it down while you put the nut on

You can easily DIY it. Otherwise, best place I know is called Autohaus in Industry that charges $50 to swap springs on a car. Im not sure if it'll be cheaper since its off the car, but do yourself a favor and take cash if you go there. But yeah . . . . DIY will save all the cash.
