I'd be glad to help.
What are you doing on the front? Just the struts? If so it's not that hard. Take the wheel off. The two bolts that hold the bottom of the strut to the spindle. The the three bolts that hold the strut assembly to the strut mount under the hood.
IF you need anything else be sure to let me know.

^ what he said. Its not bad at all. prob your hardest part is gonna be getting the 2 bolts off at the spindle if they havent been taken out before or in a long time. best thing is heat and an impact.

struts are easy to do. Just get a spring compressor from awful zone. Be careful, if you don't compress the spring properly, it could kill you. Springs are no joke. You would want to get new strut mounts, insulators and seats, boots, and bump stops. I got anti-pogo eliminators since im running lowering springs.

Thanks all! yeah just the fronts, the struts are shot, i wanna try and start doing more myself, starting with the brakes this weekend, is a spring compressor needed? labor is alwasy the killer with cars, and as much as i dont want to contribute to the global economic crisis and support small buisness, i cant afford the labor shops woudl charge, parts are cheap, what is the suggested strut? i dont want anythign crazy, but a good ride/handling?
