    Top plate spacers just simply go on top of the whole assembly(not preloading the coil) where as coil spacers go on top of the coil and under the top plate. Requiring disassembly of the strut and preloading the coil. Kinda hard to explain...try and maybe do a google image search, might help ya understand.

    I would certainly replace the rears while your doing the fronts. Pry be best to stick with the same brand. Get 5100's or 5125's for the rear.
    Since you inquired about 5100's for the front id go with them(instead of spacers like you asked about in the last post) and some new coils, either lift coils or get oem and utilize the adjustability of the 5100's to achieve your desired lift amount.

    Sorry for all the questions. I'm weighing all my options and trying to get the best deal. Does anybody have any experience with this lift? Any opinions?
