front... probably best to get pedders to put some shock absorber inserts in for you (around 300-$400 at a guess)

you may want to get disk brake struts first if you have drums though

I found pedders to be fairly expensive, and they never greased my new rod ends, and the thee bolts on top the strut tower wernt tightend, and just lazzy stuff like that. I would sujest just going to your local mechanic.

its easy enough to change them urself,

i changed mine, just go to ur local supercheap, sprint auto parts or burson's and order some in,

all ya have to do is take ya spring off then undo the nut that connets to the strut, pull the shocker out, becare because there should be oil in the bottle, but only like 30ml.

replace with new oil, insert shock then do the new bolt up and reinstall ya gear

also add to that list,
removing wheel
compress springs,
remove nuts holding strut top on
unbolt the balljoint of the bottom,
remove brake lines
remove strut

then do what crazy1200 says.

then do it all in reverse.
then do the other side.
then bleed the brakes.
yeah easy, youll be done by play lunch.
