Is this a hard thing to do? I've read info and am somewhat educated on the process. But reading and doing are very different things. After I get the car up on jacks and the wheels off - is it gonna be very difficult to mark chassis registration, loosen carefully, adjust ride height, and re-tighten the bolts? Is adjusting so that ride height is equal a difficult thing? Any help appreciated.

I read up a great deal on lowering the rear myself. Those bolts are torqued extremely high, i cant remember exactly but i believe close to 150lbs +. Its very likely you will need an air impact wrench to break the eccentric nuts loose, either that rent a gorilla from the local zoo with the mechanic assitant program. I need to lower the rear on my car as well, plan on having the allignment shop take care of that (along with a corner balance) when i change my ball joints.
