Yes it is! But O'well, make sure you have lots of duct tape when installing these.

i installed them today and im happy to report that it rides like a dream... i actually ordered EK coilovers b/c of the higher spring rate since theyre heavier... turns out to be a very nice ride that is a good amount stiffer than stock but not harsh by all means... no rubbage so far and ive already taken them for a test run... i didnt need any duct tape or anything like that at all... came with all the neccessary parts... handling is very neutral with just a hint of understeer but barely any... a rear tie bar should take care of that... i seriously believe that i got much more than what i paid for these... recommend them to anyone... easily comparable to skunk2's... ive ridden in many cars with skunk2's... only difference is that theyre a little bit softer but not by much at all
