I am not to sure on the difference or which one is better, but I do know that you have to remove the tires for the front take the two big bolts out from the spindle then remove the nut from under the hood in the caster/camber plates. On the back remove the bolt from the rear axle then pull the nut off the top. You will have to pull the carpet up a little in the back.

so what is a good brand to buy then.. i called kyb but they said they dont have shocks that are compatible wit ma 2 inch drop ... so im thinkin tokico..is that ok??

dont forget to do somthing with the springs, dont just jack up the car and undo the strut the spring will take off on u, and ether kill u or someone else. ether spring compresser and compress it just enough so it doesnt go any were, or jack up the control are(i dont like doing it that way tho u still run the risk of it shooting at u)
