yes, they have the shock also.
shocks go on the rear, struts go on the front.
you need lowering springs for the rear to bring it down, the coil over allows you to adjust the height.

I thought you were telling me to get the struts with the coilovers and the shocks with these:

Single Adjustable Single Adjustable Shocks and Springs $405.00

Strange Engineering single adjustable rear shock and spring package with your choice of spring rate. 10-position externally adjustable **** for precise rebound control.

?

Mustang Complete Coilover Package $445.00
This takes care of your front end.

The rear will not go down unless you change the spring height. coil overs in the REAR are useless for drag racing unless you change the mounting points; just a little tid bit of info.

I'm really not all that worried about drag racing..I just want a smooth ride and a reasonable wheel gap with my 18's.. I *might* hit the track 1-3 times in a year. That's about it. :|

Well either cut the rear springs 1/2 coil or so or buy new springs. I wont be much help on which to get though.

Call Team Z if you order through them and ask what spring to use on the rear; he will set you up with the right springs in the front with the kit.

The K members/a arms are a street & strip deal. They are not recomended for auto x though, they are made to be lighter and will not handle the extra g's for a road race car.
i will drive mine on the street plenty.

call dave up and ask, hes a great guy to deal with.
