No, you choose your spring length and rate when you buy the kit. Call and talk to a rep if you're not sure what you're looking for because usually they offer 8-10 different options.

basically. A coil-over is a combination of the strut and coil spring combined. In a stock setup the strut is mounted separately from the coil.

Make sure that you have the correct struts to use with the MM coilovers. Their coilovers are brand specific.

MM told me that rear coilovers are not very street friendly.

While front coilovers are a great way to go regardless of application, the rears are not quite as street friendly. I typically recommend staying with conventional location springs in the rear.

typically they provide you with a strut, but just call to make sure.

The MM K-member kit isn't going to include struts. Their coil-over kits do not include the struts. They only include the parts needed to switch to coil-overs. You have to decide on which struts you want and then buy the appropriate coil-over kit.
