Just wanted to know if it's an easy job or should I bring my car in to get it done? I have a week off soon so I will have the time but I never did that before. How does it compare to a upper+lower intake job?
 
Not bad to do at all. Just takes some time. I want to say I did mine in about 2-3 hours including jacking up the car and everything. Hard for me to give a time as I was changing the bushings in teh stock arms and I had to remove the rear brakes in order get the lower bolts out of the control arms. I also installed my c-springs at the same time.
