it pretty easy to do, jack up the car remove the struts slide in the springs on the front, on the rear disconnect the rear sway bar, ( if you still have it) and install

Honestly id rather do it myself than pay 150 for a simple job. even my boy with minimal mechanical skills was able to figure this one out. but if not theres a place in fremont they work on jeeps but hes also good with mustangs.. forget what its called but if you pm I can get u the address he does it for 150

jus a FYI maximum motorsports has very detailed install instruction with pictures and torque specs on their website for all suspension components for a mustang and that applies to different brands just a thought

they have great directions on how to install lowering springs;
