I did my 1st lowering job because of an insane quote for labor. That was back when I was 18/19yrs old.

I've done a 'few' since then & while it's basic R&R, it helps to know the tricks. I suggest having someone assist you that's done this before if you doubt your ability.

Perhaps you could barter w/a fellow board member in your area? Offer them cash, or parts for their guidance/help. You would spend much less than 1K & would gain significant knowledge on how your suspension/steering works (that knowledge alone is worth way more than a grand in the long run). Plus someone you trust would be doing the labor (you).
