Take a look at my Yahoo site for pics of what you will be doing, the link is in my sig. Just click on the albums. I posted notes with every pic so hopefully I answered some questions you may have.

Tools you will/may need:

Internal spring compressor...not a Have-to tool but helpful
24mm socket/wrench for strut nuts
18mm sockets/wrench for LCA nuts/bolts
grease to keep it all quiet, the good silicone stuff

Other than that, you should be all set.

Oh yeah...beer. Can't work on car with no beer.

Hey, I just noticed you're from Hamden. My wife's from Hamden, she used to live on West Woods road near Quinnipiac.

Hey, thanks for that link, thats really helpful what you did there.

West woods Rd, is actually right behind my house; has the most pot holes of any street I know, I try to avoid it when i can.

Anyone else have anything?

Thanks - Joe
