It might also help for you to mention your location in your profile. Some members wouldn't mind making some extra cash or even offering to help install them.
I know a buddy of mine used to do springs installs for $60 and a 12 pack.
only takes about 3 hours with a buddy. less for me, but some local guys and i have done 3 suspension changes in 5 hours. its not too bad. but for someone new i would say about 3 hours with help from a friend

Might hit you up when I do mine. My major concern is I don't have a spring compressor or place to do it.
From what I understand the camber kit is a bigger pain to do than the springs themselves. Make sure you factor that in and aren't just quoting spring prices.
I did both installs and both can be difficult unless you have a walkthrough to follow or have seen some "tips".
An example is a ratcheting wrench for the camber link install for removing this little black box.
Another tip is reversing a bolt and spreading the spindle clamp for the front struts so the shock can come out easier. (There is another tip somewhere related to this as well)
A torque happy 1/2" impact wrench will speed up the removal of things.
