Napa sells Monroe "Quick Strut" modular assemblies... comes with the coil spring already installed. With no messing around removing and re-installing the springs (and no special tools to do it) it should be a fairly easy job... plus you get new springs! >;-} It looks like yours are $194 for the front and you have regular shocks in the rear:

I just helped a friend of mine replace the struts on his wife's car, and the whole remove & re-install the springs on the struts circus took most of the time; bolting the struts in was a snap. I'm going for the Quick Strut next time! David
