Your car uses struts on the front, not shocks. You will need spring compressors to remove the old spring off the old strut and to install on the new. This can be very dangerous if you never did it before. Your best bet is to remove the old struts and take both the old and new struts to a garage and or mechanic to swap the springs on to the new struts safety. Then you can install the new struts in your car. Remember to get an alignment after you are done.
