Black RA28,
to answer your question, I have a set of K-mac adjustable tops and yes they do the job but I would not recommend them from my experience.
Mine had to be made specially, they were not kept in stock. They took 2 weeks to be made and when being fitted to the car the 3 mounting holes did not line up, strange considering they were meant to be made specifically for my car. A call was made to K-Mac, they assured they were the correct ones and that the 3 holes in the strut tower should just be filed out the extra 7mm or so to fit.
They have a very limited range of adjustment on my car (may be different on other vehicles).
They didn't come with dust caps (old ones didn't fit either).
The bearing in the strut tops are already shagged after only about 4000km of driving.
When I asked why my kit didn't com with the dust caps for the tops via email I got no response. I spoke to them face to face at a car show and was given some bizarre story that got so far off track I ended up walking away (incidentally all the kits they had hanging up on display had the dust cpas in them).
The fisnish quality is average and the accuracy of the placement of the centre mounting point surrounded by the urethane leaves a lot to be desired.
I hope this isn't protrayed as a pointless bagging of K-Mac, this is just my first hand experience, I am sure others have had a better time with them. Like I said though, they do the job, in an ugly sort of way.
Papercut, the coil overs should be no probs as they would have fitted to your standard strut tops and your new tops should be a repalcement for these.
Callipers need to come off because they are probably attached to your strut therefor your will only be able to move your strut as far as the length of the brake line ie not far.
Cheers.
