Should I pay or do it my self?
I'm replaceing my struts and springs, Should I pay or do it my self?
How much is it to get it done anyway? I was told doing it yourself would teke 3-4 hours. What do you think? By the way I'm kinda broke.

I've done suspention jobs 4 times in 3 months now. Doing it yourself is fine too, but I think its worth $150. So if I had to do it again and if I had extra $150 lying around, I'd pay a mechanic to do it. You're already getting the shocks and springs, which = more than $500, so another $150 for the install is reasonable.
However, I would not let any mechanic do the suspension. The mechanic needs to know what he is doing, otherwise, he will not seat or align the strut mounts properly.

spring comrpressor rentals Free, you will need a socket sizes 17mm and 19mm sockets along with possible 18mm sockets as well. You will need a breaker bar as well and a jack to jack up the car. Install if your not mechanically inclined total time should be no longer then 8 hours
- sometimes it can take upto 3 weeks *cough* indiglo guages
