with simple hand tools, floor jack, jack stands.
you can install the eibach prokit which is suppose to lower an inch on all corners. then to get alittle extra lowering in the rear modify the isolators with something else like a piece of hose. or even extra sheet metal if u dont mind the noise.
if u need help maybe one of the local guys on the midatlantic board can offer their garage and u can install it for free just the cost of the springs which are around 235 i think.
work and time about a few hours. rear springs can be done in minutes, the fronts take some time.

I recently put an Eibach Pro kit in my 92. I think it looks very nice, and the ride is really good too. Some lowered cars ride like a skateboard, harsh!!!
Just be careful with removing the front springs. You may not need a spring compressor, I didn't and others have got by without it, but if this is your first time you may want to see about renting one or borrowing one just to be safe. When a coil spring gets loose on it own, it can really cause some serious damage. Good luck to ya...

That is similar to what I have save for the relocation brackets. They are on the list though...
