Default Installation of new shocks and springs

For anyone who has installed these themselves or know exactly what is needed to be done during installation...I recently bought bilstein shocks and H&R springs for my 98' 2.8L quattro, and I was going to have a local shop do it for me. The only thing is that they've never done an Audi before, but the main tech has a bmw 325 and works on rally cars all the time so I figured he should have no problem doing my suspension.
**he's only charging me from $300-$500, while an audi specialist was going to charge me $800**

He seemed very knowledgable, but are there any problem or anything that I should let him know about that maybe you guys had run into during installation??

Thanks for any help, I'm open for any input!

you might want to do the install your self, there are several good write-ups on this. here is a link to AW tech you can find a few of them there http://www.audiworld.com/tech/

or just let the mechanic you are gonna use look this over.

If you have directions it should be easy, just do it yourself. I didnt even use directions when i did it.

Pretty easy. The front is the harder end, but it only took my about an hour and a half per side. There's plenty of instructions available, and if you have a jack and stands it should really not be very hard.

If your guy is as good as he says, he'll be able to do it in his sleep.
