You could always try and do it yourself. They are fairly easyish providing you are a little mechanically minded.

Maybe someone here would be kind enough to volunteer space to do it and some tools. I would but I am in a similar situation. I can help you on the day though

Have you actually rung any of the aforementioned places to see if a) they will do it, and b) how much they will charge?
Apart from that...I fitted my konis about 14 months ago....IIRC it wasn't that difficult, just need a HUGE breaker bar to prise down a control arm.
If you can get a few of the other boys interested in helping then you can use the garage at chez gassit.
Just don't hold your breath as my weekends are booked for a while....

Yeap, and a 14mm, 17mm sockets and ring spanners. If you have an NB you might also need an allen key for the sway bar bolts
