So, if I'm going to keep this car (and, to be very honest, I love it and would hate to part with it), I might as well do it right.

If you believe YouTube, strut replacement is pretty straightforward. Something like 6 bolts per wheel, badda bing, badda boom. I have no doubt I'll find a way to screw it up, though.
Nothing at all wrong with keeping your car... Sometimes I wish I'd kept my first 06 Atlas Gray Cayman S (saw it listed in Jalopnik comments one day as a steal!).

Do the suspension if you can. Those bolts could be hard. Don't springs have to be compressed and what not? I just don't see the point of top shelf parts in one area of the car. Just something to freshen it up. How much are Ohlins? They are big $$ for motorcycles.
