For christ sake if your doing the install yourself make sure you get a professional to align the wheels and set it up properly afterwards, or it will handle like crap, I speak from experience.

Thanks for the advice, this is what I need, as far as align do you mean wheel alignment, wheel balances or camber reset?

I think the coilover set i got are for a RWD .... on the factory front strut it has a little bracket on it, where the sway bar linkage connect to and i don't see it on the KW front strut. Can anyone confirm this with a RWD Wagon??
