just bolt them in and go. the important thing to know what to do is setting the preload on the spring. i think the megan website has instructions on how to do that

put them on, adjust spring until it is snug but you can still spin it (you may have to set the car down 1-2x before you get it right), adjust height by spinning the shock into/out of the strut.

you set the preload correctly? If not, the shock doesn't have full stroke.

You can freely spin the spring but you should not be able to move it up and down AND it should not be too tight. It doesn't have to be perfect. But you adjust the height from the lower locking collar not the spring locking collars.
