I installed my Tokicos and Eibachs on a Saturday by myself and saved a bundle. Not only that, but I know that everything was done correctly and not half-assed. If you do it yourself, make sure you replace your strut bearings, rubber insulators, and dust boots. The cheapest source is Courtesy Nissan. Also, you'll need a BIG monkey wrench and a vise to take apart the rear strut assembly. Let me know if you need help.

Re: parts

You may wanna rent a spring compressor, and don't let those springs get away.
