The kit includes the front strut assemblies, straight bolt on. About 20 min per side. Undo 3 upper 13 mm bolts, remove air line 12 mm, take off stabilizer link 18 mm, remove brake line and abs sensor from strut, undo two 22 bolts on bottom on strut and wiggle it out.
The rear springs, 2 spring pads, and a bottom spring mount.
Rear is a bit of a pain to install. But doable without a spring compressor. Just need to loosen up both upper control arms 18 mm at the bushing side, 16 mm at the ball joint side, remove the front ball joint, remove the shock 16 mm on top, 21 mm on bottom, remove the stabilizer link 18 mm and the bar mounting point 13 mm, wiggle the spring in, and only after install the bottom spring pad 18 mm.
Make sure to rotate the spring and get it seated properly. Tighten everything up with the suspension in regular ride height, and make sure the front upper control arm is aligned the same way it was.
