Thanks Philip,

I really am doubting whether or not to do this myself. As I've said previously in this forum...I've done the alternator replacement...but it didn't require any special tools...just some brute force and time.

Well, I'll have to think about it.

Rob, this was my first mod I did to my car. Follow the how-to, and it's not bad at all. Nowhere near as bad as the alternator. BTW, autozone will "rent" out spring compressors if there is one by you. It's definately worth doing this job yourself, my local PepBoys wanted $75 for the fronts, and $200 for the rears to install, NOT including the struts/springs. I used the $ I saved to order the upgraded suspension in the form of the BAT kit. Great investment.
