    This is basically the same thing. Minus the strut spacers. You just put the coil spring in a spring compressor and once you have the shock on the settin you want it on by wherever you have the C clip at then you make sure you have the top hat looking thing and slowly release the tension off if the spring to where it is resting against that top hat / collar. Plus make sure you have all the bushings and washers in the right place then it should be one unit and you just put it back into where the shock/coil goes. I tried describing the best I can but you should look it up on YouTube anyways!
