Default Rear coilovers on 1994 fbody

I bought a set of coilovers, LG motorsports G2 front and rear. The fronts come with all I need It looks like. The rears Im a bit lost on.

How do I install them? my car is pretty much stock suspension except for pavlock LCA/panhard, now these are going on to lower it. Its a stock 3.23 10 bolt too.

I cant find much on installing rear coilovers. I assumed they bolted in to the factory shock mount, But then I started wondering about the rear coil springs. Do those come out and nothing goes back in?

Any eye opening help is appreciated.

yes the coil overs go in the place of the stock shocks and then you remove the stock coils. you only need one set of coils so if there coil overs you remove the stock

what is the deal with the spohn reinforcement plates on some QA1 setups? I do not need these? It looks like those go In place of the stock coil over? Just wanting to make sure they really go where the stock shocks were.

farq, nevermind, I honestly havent been under my car in awhile. It all makes sense now!

but spohn offers these reinforcement plates that the top of the coil over mounts to.

Maybe you can get some information from my thread ... https://ls1tech.com/forums/drag-raci...2-step-ll.html.

You may want to be sure that the lower mounts are a two-bolt design for added strength. I have read posts where some have heard of breaking a one-bolt lower mount. The installation instructions for my Strange coil overs showed bolting directly to the upper shock tower which is how I installed mine. No plates!
