installation is fairly straight forward. take out your stock suspension, or whatever you have... put the new ones on in like fashion. you will need to figure out how to secure your brake lines. other than that you'll need to get it aligned.
how low are you going? depending on your ride height your camber may still be out. mine is out 1.5 degrees. -------------------- |

Don't worry about your english. You're better than some of the people on here that grew up with it.
It look like there is something missing from the bottom of the strut. Where are the mounting tabs? |

it looks like you'll need to cut your current ones off the strut.. just like the BC coilovers.

it doesn't seem like a good product if it is "made for your car, yet you have to custom fabricate it to work. ksport and megan are good names tein is good too, but you have to pay so much for for all the features others have to offer at a lower price...

Is this k-sport inverted model like tein`s? I just bolt it on? |

ksports are bolt on. most legit coilover systems are.

That part might actually slip into place for rebuild-able struts. Look into them, they might not have to be modified. Ive seen rebuild-able struts around and they might be the part you need, but you may want to do a little research before you just "give up".

I think all you need to do is unscrew your cartridges from the strut and either screw them into the strut with the black lock nut, or have them welded in.
