Lowering your car doesn't require you to buy anything except maybe an alignment after. Do a search there are some how tos on this forum some where. I went to a mod party and the guys did mine in about 20 min. Lowering consists of preloading the spring and turning a bolt on each corner of the car.

Easy as Hell. You don't even need to pay anyone. All you need is a Jack and some jack stands. Some hand tools would be helpful too.

I would just be carefull , my car is lowered and is way too low, I cant do anything at all, that includes getting it on a lift or jacking it up, it is rediculous and I hate it.

No big deal. Drive up on some 2x4's or 2x6's. Stick a low profile jack under there, jack it up and adjust the bolts to raise it back up.
This is an easy mod for our cars, up or down, adjust the height to where you want it.
