doesnt take many tools... just a jack, two stands, and a simple ratchet set. You should really just invest and do it yourself. This way you'd be able to do more things yourself in the future.
...if you still get it installed, about 130 seems to be a pretty average price in my area (greater western washingont)

The money you'll save by doing it your self can buy you one hell of a tool set!
You can rent spring compressors from your local car parts store or tool rental store. You could probably rent other tools that you'd need.
If you have a friend who can help you, ask to use his driveway (or any flat space) and it will go fairly quickly.
There are several threads on the board on how to do it yourself. You can refer to them as you go along.
Good luck!

Nice thing to say that you did yourself, lets you take some pride in your CL. I did it back in October, and dont regret it at all. All you need is penetraing oil, metric ratchet set, a jack, and stands. The spring compressor is free, you just gotta put down like a $50-60 deposit. I was gonna have it done, then my mechanic told me i had to wait 4 days, so i did it myself and saved the quoted $140. 1stgencl posted a great DIY on here that i followed, ask him for it if you are serious. PM me if you need nething.

just to let you know, I did my own install on the pro/agx this past week and discount auto has spring compressor on sale for $14.95, just buy the damn thing.
it was real easy, not a really any technical stuff to do, just a lot of work for one guy in fort lauderdale when its 90 degrees out. BAD IDEA TO WORK OUTSIDE WHEN ITS 90 degrees

I just finished mine yesterday i used 1StGenCL's instructions to do it. Everything went farily good exept for the rear bolt which i had trouble getting it to go through. But it was all worth it, the car looks a million times better and i feels really good to do it your self.
