RE: Any mechanics around?
You have quattro, correct? Is there a reason you're not looking into a KMAC kit?
For the struts you'll need the spacer tool - click, or a similar shaped metal object to get the strut housing off (cast iron is pretty tough to loosen up).
Spring compressor - a NECESSITY!
Air tools - EXTREMELY helpful, but can be done without.
WD-40 at least 1 can...
Search around for some write-ups. That will at least give you an idea of what you're in for.

I just called my friend who works at a place that does suspension and he's gonna get them installed for me at a slightly discounted rate at 65 an hour for 4 hours. Saves me 190 bucks.

Any DIY's for the turbo install? I don't have a manual and plan on doing this this weekend.
Edit: Nevermind, just ordered one from Amazon and it should be here Friday morning.
