I had my 306 lowered and its not a complex job, one side took less that a half hour, but the other side was seized and that made the job take about 3 hours. If you got the know how, and you got the tools then its DIY'able. Make sure you mark the position that they were in with a scriber though (if that makes any sense to you).
