14mm for the top front strut mounts and I believe the bottoms are 17mm and the ones on the top rear struts are 12mm thats it I think. if u want torque specs I can give them if u need them too

You will also need a 19mm open end and manual spring compressors, jack stands, vice grips and a few other things, where are you located, if you are near md i can give you a hand.

19MM for the front center, I forgot what size are the three top nuts, but for the bottom of the front strut that will be 17MM and a 19MM open wrench or adjustable wrench to hold the nut from spining. You will need a set of pliers to remove the clip that holds the brake line on your front strut.
The rears, you will need a 12MM deep socket and a 14 or 15MM open end wrench to remove the center nut. On the bottom you will need a 17MM socket to remove the bolt holding the shock in place. I highly recommend you get a breaker bar.
