Drop Springs

I just got my Espiler springs and asked my mechanic about installing them. He then told me $450 maybe less. I spoke to one of my boys who is into cars and he said that it may not be too bad because of the labor involved in it. He said that the rear spring may be hard to change because he may have to take the rear seats out.
Basically my questions are A: how hard is it to go ahead and change them; B: what does something like that normally cost; C: if I wanted to go elsewhere, would anyone be able to recommend a place in NYC area ??
 
The rears would actually be easier than the fronts, you will need a spring compressor for the fronts. As for the rears all you do is put a jack under the rear lower spring bucket, remove a bolt, and lower the jack to remove the spring, nothing on the interior of the car needs to be touched. Procedure is similar to the fx --> https://www.infinitiscene.com/forum/threads/7785-Install-New-Shocks-Struts-and-H-amp-R-Springs

If you need assistance in the NY area look up turbocad6 on our FX site --> www.infinitiscene.com

Would it need camber bolts adjusting or anything like that ? I wouldn't personally do it, but I'm just trying to make sure my mechanic doesn't get out of hand with the price. If it's something that that easy, I can probably get a friend of mine to do it for me. He does his own on his Honda Accord.

+1. It's not hard at all. $450 might be reasonable if it included an alignment as it's usually ~$80 but even then I'd shop around.
