erm well they bolt in place of the shock..

wow that was simple

oh but personally i wouldnt run proper rear coilovers on a car that still has back seats and carrier passengers etc.. the top mount jsut isnt strong enough imho.

simple thats a understatement stuart!! back to the coil overs, they go in place of the original damper, coil and damper together so it leaves the excisting spring platforms empty!! i'l try finding a pic!!

how was that not simple? lol you take a shock out and replace it with a shock that has a spring on it...

alot of people also find that some coilovers foul the wheels ect mate that with the weak mounting points on the axel and flimsy top mounts and this is why alot of people with the time know how and ability choose to turret the rear and strengthen the axel shock mounts when they fit theses
