I've done front struts and rear shocks many times. It is a relatively easy DIY project.
NOTE!....you MUST HAVE a spring compressor to do the front struts. AND, it would be pretty difficult to remove the top nut on the front struts without an impact wrench....although it can be done.
Obviously, it's expedient to replace other bushings, etc. while you have the strut out. Since I've always had Aero's I never thought about replacing the sway bars. I'm not sure that I would in your case; the front sway bar is a lot of work....as pointed out, the subframe must be dropped.
Finally, I've always used Koni's.
