replacing rear struts

[dsm_RS_tuner]

ok so i just bought my first car last week saturday and right now its in the shop getting fixed up. Im getting a new clutch, brakes checked since they like to stick on me, and a timing belt. My rear struts are also pretty bad but i dont have enough money for anything else right now. But how hard would it be to replace them? my friend told me that i have all the tools i just need to rent a spring compressor. i just want to know if it would be fairly easy, how long it would take, just stuff like that. Oh and is there anyway i could really screw this up? thanks for the help

its really easy, if you know what you are doing should only take you like half hour on each side

1gs are a bolt on the back of the strut and 2 inside the trunk. i think its pretty much the same thing. i can change both my rears in under 30mins
