The maker's installation guide is on this page — see Installation guide under the part details for the step-by-step and the torque figures. Work on level ground with the car properly supported, and torque every fastener to the maker's figure. If the job is beyond your tools, any shop that does this kind of work can fit it.

Ride height is set on the threaded body or the lower mount, and the damping (how firm the shock feels) with the adjuster when the kit has one. Some kits also let you set spring preload and camber at the top mount. The Part details above list what this exact kit adjusts.

Yes. Changing ride height changes camber and toe, so have the car aligned once the height is set and the suspension has settled after a short drive.

Yes — monthly options show right under the Add to Cart button. Affirm, Klarna, PayPal Pay Later and Snap Finance are offered at checkout, and checking what you qualify for does not affect your credit score.

They add adjustable ride height and damping. The digressive valving stays comfortable on the street and firms up when you push the car.

It means the rear spring and damper are separate pieces rather than one combined unit. The title uses this style for the E46 3 Series RWD.
