yes it is possible to DIY if you are fairly capable with a set of spanners, say a couple of hours max to do fronts and rears can take a little longer. generally acceptable to use same shocks if you're lowering around 30mm but if you're going down 60mm then you'll benefit from uprated shocks so the s...
