I got a quote from a local shop that it would cost $450 to install tien lowering springs for my car. For those of you who did it yourselfs how long did it take you, what if any problems you ran into, and any advise you have. From just looking at the article in the how to secton it does not look like it would be that hard. I would love for me and my dad to do it insted of wastng $450.Thanks for the help.

Just do what he said - get some needle nose pliers and rotate it off. Then use the other side knob to work both of them until you can get a new one. You could probably get the needle nose to release the seat - it doesn't take much effort to release it.
I had that problem on my last car. I have you beat on this one tho - it had NO hardware for the seats at all. No attachements at the bottom, no seatbelts at the bottom etc.
