Also are coilovers easy to install?

15%??? That's pretty dark. Is it even legal where you live? In TX, where it's sunny and hot a little too often, the legal limit on side windows is 35%, front 35% (5 inches or so on windshield), and as dark as you want on the back (as long as you have side mirrors), like....you could paint your rear window and it would be legal. Thus consider that 15% may not be legal where you live.
I think 20% is very dark. I've got 37% all around. Many people in TX go with 35% on the sides and 20% in the back. When it's dark and rainy, I found 20% to be hard to see through (on my bro's ride). The 37% is easy to see through all the time, when it's sunny, when it rains, when it's dark, etc. It would suck to be caught in the snow at night and not be able to see out your windows very well.
Whether you will find it too dark or not is up to you. Try to find some people around town where you live who have different darkness tint and check the visibility out of their cars. There will undoubtedly be at least 2 different darkness tints on someone's car at the tint shop, check it out. Especially see if you can check it out at night.....tint doesn't always look that dark when it's sunny out.
If you've got the blue strip on your windshield, which you probably do, there's no real point to tinting the front unless you're doing it for looks....whether it looks good is a matter of opinion.
