Default anyone in NJ think they can help me swapping my struts out with new ones? =)

I've got a stock 99 civic with 125k miles, and after contemplating for a while I decided against getting rid of it..

I don't think it needs much tlc, but new bushings are in order (decent amount of shifter play) and the car has a seized strut, figured I might as well replace all of them myself.

Now I could go to a mechanic, but I really want to learn how to do this myself and don't feel comfortable doing it alone (none of my friends know jack about cars)...anyone in the area think they could spare some time helping me out?

Also, not sure if it's in the wrong forum, if it is sorry about that..

Its pretty simple. there are a few write ups for it as well. Suspension was one of the first things i learned to do on my car...and now im on my 3rd setup. Once you figure out how to do it, its cake everytime. ill look for the write up for you. but a manual will help the best.

Anything helps, I've seen writeups for other cars and while it doesn't seem hard, but eh I'd rather have someone helping me, at least the first time around. I'll even buy the beer and pizza..

And yeah, thanks Agent_EM1 - appreciate it though!
