What's involved in replacing shocks on my 89 100q?
How long does the job take?
What shocks would you recommend?
How much should the shocks cost?
What other jobs should I tackle at the same time?

Cheapest decent strut option will be the Boge Automatics. Thats a OEM replacement strut. Soft.
Next would be the Boge Turbo Gas. Stiffer with a decent non jarring ride. Not the best strut to use if you're going to get stffer lower springs...
If price permits, Koni and Bilstein are considered the best...
Things to consider changing?
Strut mounts
Strut bearing(a real major PITA)
Dust boots, etc...
Somethings to checkout while you're down there:
Tie rod/tie rod ends
balljoints
rear transverse links
CV inner and outer boots
etc...
Make sure to get an alingment!
