difficulty of installing coilovers?

I'm about to purchase some tein basics and i was wondering if it was possible to do the installation myself. i have a jack and towers to hold the car up. I've installed brakes before, just wondering how hard coilovers are.

keep in mind i was very good with legos as a kid

coilovers are not too difficult to install but just make sure that you take your time and tighten every bolt

I think the key is to mark you alignment settings with some sort of marker to make sure that when you reattach everything, the settings are somewhat close to where they once were.

Try using the search button, or simply browsing the DIY subforum. Sheesh.
