Martin, Thats about the long and short of it. unless your coilovers dont have the strut top mountings already attached. If you dont then you will have to get some new ones as the 2.25 inch springs dont fit the original top too well. Once on then you can set the ride heights, a C spanner will make life easier.

the fk's dont have a proper coilover set up on the back, same as the normal style, with an adjuster for the rear spring in the standard place, so im led to believe
