Nope, they have front and rear, stage 1, 2 & 3 kits.

 

Stage 1; You supply your own struts

Stage 2; includes KYB GR2s

Stage 3; includes Koni struts

 

All the kits are available with any spring rate you want. Myself I have 300lb in the rear and 350lb in the front.

ok thas kool, Ill probablt opt for the stage 2 with the KYB's all the way around with the tubular laddar links and trailing arms with the polyurathane bushings, anyone got any experience with these upgrades? Ive got KYB struts on now in the rear and i like the ride i just hate that stupid mono leaf. Are the koni struts in the held stage 3 package adjustable some way? my front end is so sloppy that its not even funny, i jus did the inner/outter tie rod ends, ball joints and cont arm bushing (rubber not polly) and the thing is still sloppy as hell. theres a knock that happens on the right side when im turning into a drive way or hit a bump or somethin (thinkin its the strut mount and bearing) so im gonna upgrade the front with the coil overs also. Any idea on a good mount/bearing plate (front and rear) i got monroe strut mate rght now and they seem pretty damn cheap to me.

Dude, search, lol... I have ALL of the held components on my car, and I am in line for the ones he is working on (front tubular control arms with poly bushings)

Here is a link to my thread, 13 pages of information and walk through...

The noise you are hearing sounds like it could be the strut bearing, or a hub? I dunno...

If it is the strut bearing the monroes will suffice. Check around, you may be able to find some made by KYB, I'm not sure.

 

FWIW, you won't regret coil overs (despite the other thread, lol)

Held is not going anywhere, that I assure you. Unlike FFP they make more than 3 parts for w-bodies. Held also makes stuff for imports, and they do contract work for larger companies (other companies names go on the product, this is why they aren't shown on the site)
