well i didnt break any fingers, a little pain never hurt anyone (well, nevermind) im not a female...anyway, i taught myself just by takin git apart over and over and trying different heights and setups. (probably done the front 30 times, i did it 15 times over the course of one weekend) i can do the whole car in under an hour now...if that sounds nice to you (ie no tpaying a shop $200 to install and align a suspension) then do it yourself. you think these shops know any more about your suspension than you do right now? theyre reading from a shop manual, youre reading detailed posts from people who have done this shit and know it like the back of their hand. choice is yours
