Re: coil overs?
Check with the manufacturer of the kit. Most kits will accept the factory struts with modification, namely removing the cartridge bump plate.

Re: coil overs?
I'll try to dig something up but if you try to put the coil over on the strut, it will be really obvious all of the sudden.

This is the dust cover that needs removing, keep in mind, once you remove that, you will have some excess dirt collection around there...Good luck!
