looking for a DIYer in NJ to help install springs on my X

Ive read that if you have the right equipment you can install the springs yourself. Ive never done it myself before but im pretty handy with cars. Ive worked on many things but never suspension. So im looking for a DIYer to help me install eibach pro springs. It would be a good way to learn about working on a suspension and would be willing to pay someone for their time. If anyone is willing to make some money and teach an old man new tricks let me know!
Mods please excuse multiple threads in various parts..looking to get exposure. If its a problem let me know

Ever see what a compressed suspension spring can do if the retainer breaks or slips off? If you pay someone to come to your house to do this for you, be sure your personal liability coverage is adequate.

I've seen multiple people post they have done it themselves with the right equipment and a spring compressor they rented from auto zone. obviously I would want someone to teach me that has done this before in case I ever want to install my own coilovers someday. I don't mind paying a shop to do it for me, but I would like to learn for the future.

I didn't mean you couldn't/shouldn't do it. If you "hire" someone to come to your house and help you with a dangerous job on your car, I was suggesting you should be sure you have adequate personal liability insurance coverage, perhaps as part of your homeowners or renters policy.
