best of luck to ya man! Are you doing the work yourself? Have an impact on hand to pop those strut nuts off, and back on - makes the job go way easy.

I can answer any ?'s you did have tho.

One thing I have to interject though - we had to remove the front driver and rear passenger calipers to get the struts off. Just remove the bottom bolts, and pivot the caliper around on the slider pin.

Does anyone know of anyone who has blown a set of these? They actually seem pretty great for the price. I might just have to pick a set up, because my current front struts are blown.
