COST
They cost me about $133.00 CDN. I shopped around, the avarage price here was about $200.00. I went with a wholesaler in town. All other automotive shops put a mark up on them
Again they went in great and so far there are no problems.

Thanks!!
Very simple if you know how to use a wrench. 
1. Raise vehicle and remove wheel. Use a jackstand.
2. Support the control arm with a jackstand
3. Disconnect ELC air tube from shock
4. remove two lower shock bolts
5. Go inside trunk and remove the trim to gain access to remove shock upper nuts
6. Remove the cover, the two nuts and the reinforcement from the top of the shock inside the trunk
When reinstalling torque the bottom bolts to 18 ft-lbs and the top nut to 15 ft-lbs.

Adjusting the Actuator Arm
Is there a written procedure for how you go about adjusting the actuator arm? I just replace the rear shocks and the back end is up an additional 2" (total of about 5")
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Joe
