Missing the height adjustment wrench and missing the rear height adjust piece that goes on the springs.

The wrench you're missing is called a spanner wrench (at least here in the USA

). You're also missing the rear spring perch aka hi-lo kit. We're a KW distributor, so if you need anything please let me know.

You have to use your stock ones.. It is a pain in the *** to get them off. Good luck

It's really not that bad to take them off lol.

I took my strut apart without a spring compressor.

They are not that compressed if you lower the perch on the front one.. I could probably take the strut apart without a compressor, but I just had a really hard time with the top-hats for some reason. Maybe it just was a bad day for me! lol
