Lowering spring question..

The lowering springs that SMS is offering is like a 1 1/2 in drop for a couple hundred bucs. My question is this, if you were to purchase these how hard of an install would the springs be and has anyone lowered there car yet? And is it just a spring swap out, or is there other modifications that will need to be done?

Okay This Is The End All For Spring Install

check out this sticky.

It explains step by step installation of the B&G's. I used them and the installation went very smoothly. That was the first time I ever did springs.
