Default suspension 99 Protege LX

I am in need of new struts for my 1999 Protege LX. A friend has recommend KYB parts. Has anyone tried to replace struts on their own? Any suggestions for parts? Advise for the labor?
Thanks

The KYB are good struts to go with. I have done many, many struts over the years and I don't find them difficult. If you have never done them it can be very dangerous when releasing the coil spring tension. I know you can rent spring compressor tools that will help. I would read very carefully a manual before doing any type repairs on coil springs and struts.
