Threads I've looked at don't give much detail and I didn't see anything on Pedro's web page. How tough would this job be? I don't have a spring compressor or a ball joint thing-a-ma-jig. Sorry for such a newbie question, but I have 0 experience in this area and I want to know what's involved. There are lots of Caymans out there, so need to determine if I should pass on this one. Thanks.

Like Byron and Johnny mentioned, all depends how the car was lowered. You may be lucky and find a set of coilovers on the Cayman, if so it will be very easy to get it to standard height, however you will still an alignment.
Why don't you post a picture of one of the struts, this way we can find out what does the Cayman has.
If the previous owner installed shorter springs, you better off taking it to someone that knows what he is doing, because the rear stuts are a bear to remove... (unless they are coilovers)...
