I used the how - to from the Scuderia Ciriani site when I replaced all 4 struts and springs. Here is a link:

The rear struts are easier to replace than the fronts if I remember correctly.

You will need to rent / borrow a spring compressor, but that is the only special tool you should need

Good luck

Strange, I have never seen a 3rd gen with struts, front or back . Why are the cars different in Tennessee ?The ones my mechanic works on have shocks front and back , again why are some different?

I use those terms as universal. Even though they are not.
