you will need four wheel geometry after fitting though as you would with any coilover

They are up to 120mm on the front and up to 60 on the rear i think, they are better than running standard shocks and springs by a mile but are a stiff ride if you have them low

Its a fixed front coilover that has height and camber adjustment and a rear shock with a seperate spring and seat adjuster these coilovers do not have damper adjustable shocks they are just an entry level coilover if you were wanting fully adjustables i would go for the avos at about 400
