I was thinking about getting these at one time... I think they are installed over your stock shocks/struts... but then again, I just forgot about it and went with coilovers.

They do go over the stock shocks, but I don't know which pieces go where?

I don't think the DIY mentioned that the rubber o-rings go over the stock strut so that the red threaded collar is tight. You'll notice if you just slide the collar over the strut with out them it will be loose and wiggle around. You DO NOT want this.

You can even wrap the strut with electrical tape if you don't have enough rubber o-rings or if they are too tight.

This from a write on here that was very useful to me. The lower perch has been cut to allow for full adjustment of the sleeve.

probably not to hard an install on those,they are pretty much exact same ocncept as lowering springs.

once the strut and spring are apart,put the screw ring on with the orings,put spring on,put bumpstop on and stock pillow block and tighten.

basically these just alow you to adjust ride height if you want,they look pretty cool though.....wonder how they ride.
