Trust me, do it yourself. Suspension work is SIMPLE. It looks like it isn't but once you get started it all makes since. Shops around here charge $100 for strut or spring installs. Corbin made a walkthru page for installing springs and it is a very easy thing to follow and should take you about 6 - 10 hours at the MOST. The second time I installed springs after my car was on my friends accord and it took 4 hours total including 2 trips to autozone!

Just have a day set aside to do it and have the right tools and you are set. Check out Corbins page here.

It's easy - real easy especially with power tools. I switched my sportlines to pro-kits about a month ago and it took...eh 5 hours. Check corbin's page out it's a step-by step thing if you've never done it before

I installed mine myself too and it was easy as hell!! The hardest part was getting all those bolts loose, it took me about 6-7hrs, but I did it by myself with no help.
