OK, I am going to order some strut-mounts today (or sometime this week)
A guy in the VT car club is going to help me replace them.
Questions:
-What exactly do I need to order?
-Where can I order the mounts from?
-What else can I replace/should I replace while I have the front suspension apart?
-What special tools do I need and where can I get them?
-What else should I be asking?
Thanks!!! I'm hoping to get this done in the next few weeks.

Get them from Wendy...I don't think you'll find them cheaper anywhere else.

Do I need anything else with them?
new nuts/bolts? Or do I simply reuse the stuff that's already in my car?
I remember hearing that the "green" mounts go bad fairly quickly? I want to get something that will last quite a while...

The cheap green knock-offs go bad often. The real greens are much better...
Real green = bright *** paint.
You'll need the special nut tool, Hazet makes one, it has two nubs on it that turn the special nut on top of the shock piston rod. You'll also need a 22mm wrench and (O2 or crows-foot) socket IIRC.
I think those are the only special tools?
