extremely easy. Youll need a 14 and a 17 mm socket/ratchet and youll be fine just look at it and its seld explanatory. Now youll need a spring compressor for your springs unless your replacing all of it but dont try with out the compressor its not save. Good luck PM me for details if u need them. OH yeah and a 10-12 mm for the brake line thats mounted on the strut tower.

Do you have springs or coil-over sleeves on the current struts?

actually i do have some sort of coil overs that came with it when i bought the car, when i jacked the car up the springs weren't even compressed (short little springs, never saw that), but i want to put back on the original springs which i have from the previous owner

i saw that you can borrow spring compressors from autozone for free for when i put the originals back on
