It's pretty easy to do on your driveway if you don't want to pay someone to do it.

I don't my own also. Thumbs Up

I'd look into spring isolators also if I was you for a better ride on OE springs.
You won't be able to do top and bottom on a 110 like a 90 like I did with the castellated rubber type but you can do some and the wrap around type on the rear.

IIRC, on a 110 you can fit the castellated type of spring isolators on the front but not on the rear due to larger spring.
On the rear there is wrap around types instead though.

On my 90 I have top and bottom all around inc wrap around also on the rear.

I'd look at getting new or near new spring Genuine springs too, Chris @ CSK may have some? $W33T $0U7H3RN $UG4R
