pretty easy..most can do it themselves...the only tricky part is taking the strut assembly apart, which can be pretty dangerous...there's a variety of ways to do this, only a few of which are safe.
as far as the camber kit...its pretty easy, just have to unbolt the upper control arm...cake.

I've allways done my own shocks and springs and have never needed any special tools except the one time. When I put on my Tokico's the tops of the stock shocks were rounded out so I had to grind them down, other than that it was cake. I didn't even need a spring compressor, all you need is a good socket set (air tools help) and the correct size hex-wrench for the top of the shock, that's about it. If you need details I could give you a step by step with pictures but it's pretty easy.

A very important point here-if you have stock springs you will want to have them removed from the shocks with the proper tools-that means a real spring compressor. The options for this are really simple-rent one from Autozone (return it and get your money back_that is their deal BTW) or you can pay a shop to take the assembly apart and put the new springs on. Then you go home and reinstall the assemblies.
For the Camber kits-they are generally very easy to do. Look at the drawings or under the car to see where the stock mounting points are for the upper control arms. That is where you take it apart and rotate the control arm around and remove the stock pieces and replace them with the kits. WARNING: Don't buy just any kit-get an alignment first to see how much adjustment you need. Final thought-use a torque wrench on ALL of the bolts. I had the ocassion of finding my Prelude going down the road with a control arm bolt that was not fully tightened-not a lot of fun.
