Tips? make sure you got all the essential tools, most importantly a breaker bar and a spring compressor.

 

The last time I replaced the struts on my civic, I swore I would never do it again without air tools (impact). Make sure you lube the spring compressor.

 

Depending on where you live, the lower strut bolts CAN be the hardest part. If they break when you try to remove them.

Rears are pretty easy.
The front springs need to be compressed forever, still not a tough job.

Just make sure you line up the springs on the perches so they will sit right when the top mounts are in.
