Agreed.. I went thru a guy who could get me a deal, and he did... It was just a much longer drawn out process than I ever imagined it would be..

Nice project. There's nothing out of the ordinary to really look out for. Just make sure you have your workshop manual handy and some cold beers in the fridge.

Just a lazy man's opinion, but consider walking the front strut assembly into a shop and let them do it. I am not fond of spring compressors for home use. I have a 1 inch deep hole in a 2x4 at a friends garage to remind me....
