Hopefully Mike will add his own input to this, but I would rate this job a 5 out of 10 difficulty. It's tedious more than difficult, especially the rear where you have to take out the majority of the interior. If you have all the tools and parts it's no more than a day's work at a leisurly pace.

I paid a $588 for the Bilsteins (with freight) and ~$250 for the springs. In addition, I bought new upper strut mounts for the rear (highly recommended) at the dealer for about $90 (for both).

HOPe that helps.

I applaud those who DIY with this kind of work.

Mike, how would you rate this DIY, from a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being easiest and 10 hardest? And how many hours did it takes you, and the total costs of parts (H&R and Bilstein)?

Sorry for too many questions but am sure a few others would want to know also. Thanks!

MJ
