You can do it yourself. It's actually quite simple if you have the right tools. I'm sure there's a DIY somewhere on here.

it's VERY easy. definitely do it yourself. Even just doing springs is easy on the s2000, since they're so short, no spring compressor needed... in your case, drop out the stock strut/spring replace with T1r's.... it's really that easy, a bolt on the bottom, I think 2 nuts on the top.. only pain can be the rear sway bar.

I'm putting some Megan's in today (replacing old stock struts on H and R springs, woohoo!)

I love the T1Rs ... I'd just suggest doing it in your garage.

If you need help, I've got a buddy with air tools and an organized garage, he'd gladly assist for a fifth of vodka with three of us we could have it done in 30 minutes

I might take you up on this. Need to order some axles spacers though - waiting for T1R to release theirs. Done in 30mins doesn't sound too bad to me.
