Need new suspension HELP-image.jpg

Ok I have a 96 formula ws6. I have been replacing everything I can think of. Now I have it a road block. I need new struts so I bought some. Problem is my old struts are so rusted at the top I can't get the bolt off. I want to buy and replace the whole strut assembly but can't find it anywhere new. Does anyone know the exact name of the assembly or where I can get it. Thanks alot picture above

Speed Inc sells those, if you call them they will know what you mean. I think they are KYB brand. This is very common as well.

Hope that helps,

After getting the spring properly compressed, you can use a saws all to get to the bottom of the shaft that the nut is rusted to (not the polished part). After sawing through it, the shock mount and shock will separate. You can just tap the bolt back and forth and it will fall out of the mount. It's literally a piece of cake. Just make sure that your spring it compressed enough!!
