I am mechanically retarded with tools and lowering a car at Extreme's house is very easy. He has all the tools and the very important lift!

Lift is handy, but it can be done without it. From what I've heard, the hardest part is swapping the springs over from he old shocks. If you don't have air tools, compressing the springs can be a real bear. That's one of the reasons I went with coilovers instead of a lowering kit. The other was that with coilovers I can adjust the ride height, with a lowering kit you're stuck at what the vendor thinks it should be.

There's a couple of good video walk-troughs out there on various forums that can give you an idea on what the job takes.
