I know you say you dont want to do it yourself but it does save some money and you said you were on a tight budget. I have never done anything like this before and installed mine a few weeks ago. The springs can kill you from what i have heard but i had no problems at all, just compress them with a compressor that you can get from an auto parts store for just a deposit that you get back. Just a thought and heres a how to i did, its on a CL but the accord is almost the same Good luck
