Default DIY: Front Strut Replacement

I replaced the front struts on my 3GS RWD with KYB struts from rockauto.

I made a short YouTube video on how its done to share with the community here:

The installation should also apply to the 2IS as well since it uses the same strut.
I used spring compressors and was able to get everything to install back correctly. The car rides much more tight now, previously the front right corner would bounce on the highway, despite the rebound rate of the worn strut appearing to be similar to the brand new strut in the video.

I hope this helps someone out in their strut replacement!
