Stock suspension and with lowering springs

Yes.

No more difficult than on the sport suspension.

It's just as easy as with the R53, if that helps. It takes about an hour for the job with some basic mechanics tools.

sorry to steal this thread a little, but how much did it cost people to get your springs INSTALLED, not including spring price. I know it will be different everywhere, i just want to get an idea. Thanks.

I was right at $500 for the springs, installation and alignment.

I'm sure those that can do it themselves can cut that price in half.
