Just purchased a 96 convertible with 138,000 miles and ride from the rear is pretty awful (harsh and loud, car jiggles over bumps) so I am thinking of replacing the struts. I have never done this before. What is involved? Do I need a spring compressor? Do I need additional parts other than the struts (which are amazingly cheap
 Any tutorials out there? Thanks

what everyone said was great info. I'd recommend using spring compressors, but that's up to you ultimately.
I see you are in Colorado, ... If the car saw a lot of road salt I think the endlinks get rusted to the point where removal with the allen key does not work, try a vise grip around the rubber boot if that happens and think about replacing them if necessary.  Good luck. -------------------- ◊◊◊ My F/S Thread! ◊◊◊

There was so much JDM trapped inside that box that they couldn't contain it, so they had to put a JDM hole in the box to let the JDM out.
