whats the diff between coils and springs? and which ones the best to do if you want to avoid scraping as much as possible when living in a city environment? I want to get lower, but not too low...if you guys understand what i mean..just a modest lowering..

if you searched you would have found a very well written guide on how to do it. oh and get someone to help you...you will need someone to hold the shock/spring while you bolt it in on the inside (for the rears)

...ah that thread doesn't have pics anymore. reading it will help anyway though.

Springs/coils.....all the same.....i guess most guys say coils when they talk about coilovers, which are basically springs combined with shocks/struts. What brand did you buy? I've had a couple different setups.......I'm in Ocala let me know if you need help......

Well to answer your original question...

get the top hats and hardware and all you have to do is swap out the complete assembled struts

and spray the bolts with penetrating oil.
