if i remember i dont think they are, and thats alot of work for for a shop on a sunday. Your best bet would be to go out to an autoparts store and buy the parts yourself (if they have all of them) and do all the work yourself. The ive done the shocks and struts myslef and they arnt that bad to install. Youll need to get an alignment afterwards, of coarse. Hoping to do some of the steering linkages tommorow .

i was going to do the shocks my self but i couldnt even get the carpet up in the back to unbolt them. my car hates me.

woah, lol... it wont come up??? I think you have to take the seats out in back (lower cushins) see if that helps.

how do i get the seats out? a local speed shop said they would do the shocks for 50 bucks and im considering that if i cant get it done tomorrow. how would i get at taking them out? just put the rear end on jack stands?

alright... the rear seats,i beleive, have two 12 mm metric bolts at their base holding a metal loop down. Undo the two bolts and pull the cushions out. The carpet is vecroed to the seats, or should be, you should now be able to pull back the carpet.

and 50 dollars is too much... i just finished putting in a cheapo set of gabriels this morning and it only took me like 45 mins or so.
