Hey Man it's not hard if you have the time and the tools . Most shops will probably charge you in the $300 range for spring install and then probably $120 or so for an alignment. But since you bought the H&R springs and they drop the car a lot and alignment will do you no good unless you have a camber/toe kit. Can't wait to see your car dropped though, to compare it to mine.

The alignment will only help a little bit until you get a camber kit for the front and rear. There's only about a 1/4" of adjustment in the factory suspension platform.

When I changed the springs in my car I just took out he struts and went to Discount Tire, gave them the new springs and the struts and asked them to swap them out, they charged me $30 under the table and they where done in 30 minutes. Then just I installed the strut and away I went. If you do that just make sure that they align the struts properly.
