Instalation is easy , take off wheels, take out old links put it new ones put the wheels back on.
What is really confusing in the begging is adjustin all 4 corners right. Have patience if you doing it at home , and you will get it right (been there done that) , or do it at the shop and for 40-60 dollars (is what id pay) have them adjusted on the lift.
Bought those off ebay for about 130 bucks , will be 4 years in June

Remembered to add something right before my sleep
For the fronts you dont even have to take off wheels , raise the car , and switch out old with new , might need a flat head screwdriver to help you.

I would initially adjust the fronts and rears as pairs the exact same length (measure or make a template on paper). Assuming the car is leveled correctly now, you do not want to throw that off. Airmatic adjusts the suspension to level the vehicle. If the floor is not even, when you install the links, you could throw this off if the lengths are not matching. In the event the car is not properly leveled, I would match lengths on the lowering link kit than correct the sensor settings with a STAR computer. You can however correct the height with the links themselves though.
Despite this description, it is actually very very easy. I have installed them on a couple friends cars. If possible, make a quick drive (around the block) in between adjustments to the car corrects and actually settles to where it will sit.
