Noob here,
Just got home with my just purchased '02 P5. Fair condition, discovered that the rotors need to be replaced on the ride home though, don't know how I missed that on the test drive.
Anyway, while I'm there... how difficult are the struts to replace? I have a spring compressor available, but I mean the rest of the job, how about it?
 
the first time i did it, it took me 7 hours by myself and with a fever.

the only real headache was fighting off the front endlinks (save yourself the headache and just grind them off)

ive done it a few more times and i think i can now do all 4 in about 3 hours. its all pretty straight forward and theres even a how to thread about it
 
yea took me a whole day with hand tools and a hacksaw to cut off the endlinks. impact gun wouldve been sweet to have that day lol
