Default Strut and Mount replacement

Has anyone here replaced struts and mounts on a 99 C70?

My suspension is kinda shot, if I push down on the front bumper, it takes a while for it to settle, and I can watch the mounts move as well. So I know its time. But i've never done them before. Was wondering if anyone knows of a walkthrough or directions. I looked at Bay13 and they had nothing.

Also, anyone have links to good and cheap place to buy struts and mounts?

Thanks

I replaced the front struts on my 2000....it was pretty straight forward. Be sure to check your strut mounts. Another issue my be your inner/outer tie rods, ball joints. Not sure where a video or step by step is.

I purchased 100% of my suspension parts here: FCP Groton, LLC | Toll Free 1-877-634-0063

Here is one of their ebay auctions....
