['87 5KCSTQ] Spring, strut and shock replacement

["Paul Luevano" <prl@ptc.com>]

Thanks to everyone that responded to my request for information on
shock/strut selection for a 5KCSTQ with H&R springs.  The common
response was that for H&R springs, go with the Konis, so i think that is
what I'm going to do.  Probably yellows up front, reds in back.

	This leads me to my next question, what else should I replace when I do
this job?  The only other thing i can think of is the strut bearings. 
Anything else?

	Finally, how hard of a job it to replace the springs, et al?  Is it
something I could reasonably expect o be able to complete in a weekend
in my garage, or is this something best left to a shop.  I am fairly
mechanicall inclined, but the only suspension work I've ever done was on
a '77 Camaro, quite a different beast.

	If I do decide to tackle it myselft, are there any special tools I
might need?  Any trick I should be aware of to make the job easier?

	TIA for any info! This list is great!
