how hard is it to install lower control arms?

ok, i'm getting ready to start working on my chasis. i'm going to go with steve spohn sub connectors, eldelbrock strut tower brace, and lakewood LCAs. my car takes bumps and corners bad. first i'm going with the LCAs cause i dont have much left from my check. is this a hard install? i'm not much of a mechanic, only thing i've ever installed is an alternator. a just dont want to start taking crap off and not being able to get it back on. oh also i put rear shocks on so... well just need a little info to see if i can attempt this or not. thanks, btw, i now a guy at a collision shop and he is gonna install the subframe connectors on my car for like 50 he said, this is a killer deal right? i dont even no how much regular shops charge.

Try this: http://www.sc3gfb.org/resources/hotchkis.html

Its for Hotchkis parts but the install should be the same.

LCA's are a piece of cake - thing you gotta remember is do one at a time. If you pull them both off, you might play hell getting the rear-end back in place. Also, torque the bolts with the car back on the ground...
