Afaik, Robin does not have a lift. You can actually see the jack stands in some of the pics.
Hope this helps.. If you diy the suspension, be sure that you live close to an alignment shop!

sy308,
It is not really that difficult. Changing out the suspension was the first DIY project I did. If I can do it anyone can. Whether it worth fussing with is a personal preference and your value of your time and money. I wanted to save the money and wanted to learn about the car. You could get both rears done in a saturday.

I helped change out suspension, going from stock to PSS9s and RS sway bars. I was about 20% of the effort, my neighbor 80%.
In my humble opinion, if the front looks tough to you, you may not wish to jump into this project. The rears required much more in the way of disassemply of the suspension...but we did it, with help from Robin Sun's DIY page.

Kim,
I did PSS9's without the camber plate in two 5 hour days. I'd never done suspension work before and just followed the instructions in the manual and on Robin's site. No lift and no special tools other than the "open socket" thingy for the front. Drove it 20 miles to the dealer for alignment and corner balance with no problem.
