Changing struts?
I will be changing my front struts soon and want to know what I will need. I know I will need to replace my strut mounts (agx mounts) because my car has alot of miles, but is there anything else i need?

Pretty much whatever you WANT to replace. Strut bearings wouldn't be a bad idea.

Also examine your boots, good time to change those if you need to.

PB Blaster and lots of it. You might want to invest in a Haynes Manual, this will get you started: http://www.innerbean.com/housecor/strut_install.html

Spring isolators usually are a good idea as well.
