depends on what your putting it on and what is already on the car. if theres already a coil on shock/strut in there, its 2 bolts. if your trying to replace leaf springs with coils much harder

should be pretty easy, watch a few youtube videos and figure out if its something you can do/want to do. basic hand tools + jack and jack stands, shouldnt take too long

no worries, should be pretty simple/basic

just remember they will probably end up being more aggressive depending what you pick out. so alot more of the road nice/vibrations/bumps and what not will be transferred through the car

depending on how far you can go it can drastically impact the ride and comfort. also you are probably going to want/need to get an alignment done after changing spring rates/heights

be careful when you're taking the top off from the pressure loaded springs, that thing could definitely do some damage in the direction it's going.

I would honestly just suggest going to a shop than DIY if you've never done it, what's the cost of a hospital bill to a professional trying to make a living?

if you cant replace coilovers as some one trying to do DIY you shouldnt do anything on your car. its one of the easiest things you can do
