Struts or Shocks??
Does the CM have struts all around or in the front only???
My wife has it so I cant go look right now and I am trying to get a price on changing the coil springs.

Front struts; rear is a coilover spring-shock unit. IF it is like the R53 rear coilovers, a spring compressor is not really needed to disassemble (unlike the front struts).

ok that's what I thought.
Price I am being quoted to do the fronts ~ $100.00 - $125.00 each strut.
Price to do the rear ~ $20.00 - $40.00 each shock.

Looking at the NM Engineering ones that other members are using now.
Looks much better than stock IMO.
