I'd recommend professional installation.. You need a spring compressor if you do them yourself.

I'd suggest for you to go get them installed.. and then get an alignment right away. Best way to do it. That's the only thing I wouldn't do to my own car.. Although a lot of people do.

do it yourself, its not too hard and you can get the spring compressors at a parts store for pretty cheap or just borrow them for free.

Springs are not hard, I did mine in under 2 hours by myself. Only problem I had was getting the top bolt off the strut since all I had was an impact gun.

^True. I paid 250 for sportlines and 250 for labor. I have no regrets though.
