Funnily enough I fitted a set to Terrano 2 today, I found the instructions to be very easy to follow with clear diagrams.
If the instructions say you don't need to remove the coils, why would you question it? Common sense would say that if the tubing passes close to the exhaust you would use the thermal shield, if it doesn't you wouldn't.
In regard to the 'spacer' .... read the instructions, it isn't a spacer!

Gidday,If they are the same as the L/C the air goes in the top and the spacers go under the air bag once inside the spring at the lower spring mount.Just squeeze all the air out of the bag and push thru the spring.Follow the instructions they are simple.

Hi Hardo,

I fitted CR-4219 Coil Rites to my 4.8P auto in August 2002 so the installation details are hazy but from what I can remember:
1. Yes
2. Yes
3. No, you can squeeze the bags through the coils
4. Don't remember a heat guard with my kit
5. I thought the instructions were pretty good
6. Very pleased with the Coil Rites.

Hi Hardo,

I fiited the Firestones from truckspring to my 2003 GU. as for your questions;

1. The air inlet on the air bag faces down. You thread the airline through an existing central hole in the base of the coil loactor on the axle.

2. Yes, the plastic spacer goes centrally on the coil loactor on the axle base and the airline threads thru the hole in the middle of it. It's purpose is to "fold" the airbag into itself as the axle moves up and down, compressing the airbag (hope this explanation makes sense!). It is not a spacer to compensate for taller springs.

3. No need to remove the coil at all. But a word of advise, jack up the body (not the axle/wheel) and this opens up the coil spring, making it easier to thread the bag into the coil.

4. Yes, I simply cable tied the exhaust guard on, but had to make a few minor bends to sit neatly. This is actually very easy to do.

Also, spend plenty of time and use heaps of cable ties to make the airline installation nice and neat and protected from flying rocks. I cable tied mine mainly to the brake lines and then finished off putting the air line fittings inside the rear of the cabin. This way no-one can "adjust" them externally from the vehicle.

I took around an hour to install just the first bag and less than 10 minutes for the second. Its really an easy job once you have done it and figured it out. The longest bit is routing the airlines properly, that took me over an hour alone.

Hopefully this all makes sense. Just ask if you have any further questions or if you want some pics, post your email address.

Cheers
