I think Jim will chime in here.  There must be a shop that is a reseller possibly in your Area.  As far as the install. I never did much before installing.  I did front bearing work prior and that was the first mechanical thing on a car I have ever done.  I was able to follow the kit and do this without any major issues at all.  Wish I had the time and space I would do it for you.
