WHY did you buy coilover's off Ebay? "Everything but the shocks" pretty much leaves the springs right? You should a) not wasted your money, and b) get some aftermarket shocks to handle the undoubted excess pressure lowering your car will create. Although not reccomended, you need to remove your Macpherson struts from the car and remove the stock springs. Using a Spring Compressor would help. Then you slip on the Coil-over sleeve and the bottom screw plate. Put the Spring on, and top screw plate and bolt back up to the car. That's a general way of doing it.

I wouldnt of bought them off ebay if i were you. I have coilovers that slip on over the struts and they work fine but i herd the ones off ebay dont come with the berrings for the front top plate. If you dont have the berrings ur gunna mess sumthing ip becouse the front tires turn when u turn the weel but i dont what kind you got so i would just follow the directions. all ur really gunna need is a 10 mm wrence and a spring compressor and i think half inch wrence also, not positive.
