Strut questions

Just got a '93 MX-3, and am fixing on replacing the rear struts because they're shot. I don't want to do anything dramatic with it, because it's just a completely stock daily driver. I want to replace everything except the springs, but I don't know where to get everything else, or what all i'll need. If somebody could point me in the right direction with the proper names of each piece that i'll need, and where I may be able to find it along with suggestions, i'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

Just need new struts. If your doing it yourself you will need a spring compressor. They rent them out at autozone.

I didn't know if the new struts came with everything as far as the bellows and whatnot.

Correct. New struts will not come with mounts, bellows, bumpstops etc. Here is a past thread that might help.

Thanks so much for pointing me in the right direction. Sorry I didn't find that thread before I made mine, I'm new to this whole forum business.
