Easiest by far is the complete strut assembly. You only need basic tools. Changing the strut springs without proper tools and knowledge can be VERY dangerous!

This^^^. Unless you have the proper tools and space, the "Quick Strut" option is much easier and safer.

Probably less foul language too.

I swap springs when I do them because it's a lot cheaper that way.

I just did my wife's 2000 and used Monroe drop-ins!! Got them on-line for $128 and only took about 1-1/2 hr per side!! Huge difference in ride and handling!!! Note: a 15mm ratchet wrench works great for the three top bolts!!!

1 1/2 hours per side? Jeez i can do 2 in that time with swapping springs and have time to spare

I am an "old" man and was quite pleased at how long it took!!! That included unpackaging , laying out tools , removeal, replacement, putting all tools away, and "test" drive ....3 hrs.....very happy!!!!
