coilovers are a complete swap of the stock strut..take stock strut out put the coilovers in...well thats for Full coilovers like Tein Basics, Tein SS-P's, Buddy Club, Megan Coilovers, and etc...

those aren't full coilovers, they are called sleeves. do not get sleeves, you will regret it. they may give you a nice drop but they are bouncy as hell and are not worth it.
