Jack the car up, both L&R sides must be up in the air to complete the job. You can do the front and rear seperately.
Rear:
Remove the 2 12mm nuts the hold the upper shock mount to the body. Look in the trunk behind the inner corner trunk liniing next to the seat back. Next remove the 17mm bolt on the bottom that holds the shock assembly onto the beam.
Fronts:
Remove the brake line clips & ABS sensor wire 10mm bolt(if equipped).
Remove the 2 19mm nuts from the lower strut mounting flange. Hold the bolt with a 17mm box wrench while you spin the nuts off, then remove the bolts.
Remove the 3 14mm (95-98) 22mm (1999) nuts from the upper strut mounts.

you need a torque wrench, 22, 19, 17, 12mm sockets/deeps, 17,19mm open end wrenches, spring compressors (7 bucks at harbor freight), and 3 hours. there are good writeups in the FAQ's that have some helpful tips.
good luck!
