Does anyone know how difficult and how much time it will take to replace the shocks and struts? Or about how much I'd pay to have someone at a shop do it? Or how much you payed to get this done?

I think this has been answered a few times on the suspension/chassis board, if you want to do a search there.

Rear shocks are easy, you can do them yourself. Front struts are a little trickier, and remember, you need to have a front-end alignment done to the car when you're done.

Yeah I need an alignment done anyway. Thanks Tom. I forgot about the other boards. I'll check it out. L8R

 

Do the rear shocks yourself. It is really, really easy. I was amazed how smoothy and quickly I recently changed my rear shocks. Also you won't need an alignment until you do the struts.

I haven't tried changing my struts yet but have them bought. I sure they will be more difficult but should be do-able after I find a cheater bar to get the bottom nuts off.

 

I take it we have rear shocks and front struts? I don't know why I was thinking we had struts all the way around.
