look in the "How To" section in the stickies up above. I made a tutorial for this exact thing... on a scale of 1-10, oil change being a 2, I'd give changing your shocks a 3 You'll want an impact gun to save time though.

well I'm sure the rear is the same as a 00. I'd say it's a 1, easy as pie. But it may take some elbow grease to get the nuts off. Squirt some WD40 on em. Also you'll have to remove the rear interior panels to get to the top shocks studs/bolts, but it's really no big deal. If you're handy with tool (and no, no special tools required) then I'd say maybe an 1hr tear down and install.

It's an easy job. I removed mine without even hoisting the car. The trunk area interior is the only pita part, but it's not that bad and worth doing yourself. I would not want a garage to do this because r/r of the plastic stuff in the trunk requires some tlc so nothing gets damaged. It's a 1 hour job.

hardest part is getting to the top of them....have to rip out the trunk interior and putting it back in sucks..god i HATE interior work lol
