So, i posted this a while back and I didn't quite get the info I was looking for. I'm going to replace my magnetic ride with another OEM set. I want to buy the parts myself from gm parts direct, but I cannot do the install. I know the part numbers but I'm wondering what else I need aside from the struts (i.e. strut plates, mounts, dust covers, springs) Has anyone else replaced their suspension yet? What's the cost for labor? Should I do it through the dealership or find a reputable shop? I would appreciate some serious input because I'm definitely in need of new struts. If I just went straight to the dealership and let them order and install, would that be the best option?

I bought my rears through amazon, they will match it to your car. They are much cheaper than the dealer. You could have them install or you. Be aware of they need alignment.
