DIY Strut/spring replacement

If anyone is on the fence about doing it yourself, don't be afraid to try it! Once i figured out how to remove the back seat side bolsters and rear deck it took a minimal amount of time to replace the struts, I would say around 30mins per strut, and that was for the first one. Compressing the springs is no big deal if you use the right tools, a set of spring clamps and an impact wrench make it a piece of cake. Oh yeah, buy your new bump stops and boots from car quest. You have to reuse the very top part of the old boot that sits between the spring and the mount, but they are only $21 each. I am definitely down with that.
