So I finally decided to go with the BC type BR coilovers for my car after the airbags died. I got a set for a jza80 supra with slightly heavier spring rates for a good price.
I've been quoted $800 by fulcrum for install, 4 wheel alignment and corner balancing. I though this was a bit steep, and am thinking about having a crack at putting them in myself.
I'm having touble finding any tutes, though I'm sure I saw one on here. How difficult is it? i have stands to hold the car up. is it worth trying myself for someone who has never done it before?

i helped a mate fit Bc's to a air bag celsior.
all straight forward no problems. I used a ball joint puller on the fronts to get the old air bags out. but it was straight forward. Not sure on the soarer fronts. I have replaced a rear airbag on a soarer. very straight forward We found a tut for the celsior, but is was easier and more straight forward to just "do it ."
Make sure you adjust the coilovers correctly for the height and you do not change the spring length

if you set your coilovers to lower the car a significant amount, make sure that you bounce the car a few times to settle the height before tightening the LCA's.this is to avoid wrecking your bushes
