hey guys, Im wondering if there is some one who would give me a hand, with replacing my front struts on my 540, i havent done one, but i think i could tackle it by myself. If you have a shop and stuff too that would be a BIG help..and id be more than happy to compensate.

Do you have to gut out your old strut housing or do your new shocks have their own shock housing (meaning everything necessary to bolt up to your car.
This really should only take an hour or 2.
