Wanting a softer ride

Agreed. Especially trying to get at those rear strut mount nuts in the trunk. Would also recommend getting new pinch bolts before hand.

I wouldn't buy new pinch bolts ahead of time. Put a LOT of heat on them before you try to remove them. Even then, they may likely snap. At that point, drill them out. Buy Grade 8 bolts, washers, and nuts to replace them, as you will mung up the threads as you drill them out.

Larry, it looks like you're from Medford, OR. I'm up in Longview, WA. I drove down to Medford once to pick up a 94 ATX parts car with a spun rod bearing. Pretty country down there. And since you don't have any RUST everything should come apart like it should without broken bolts and corrosion every where. Use the stock springs, replace the mounts and bearings, and get a set of either Monroe or KYB struts and you'll be happy. The KYB struts are just over $200 for all four at shosource.com. They also have all the mounting hardware.

Cheers.
