Hello I found a coil over set on ebay fairly cheap and I need to know what else I need to install them I know I need new strut top mounts and bearings but my questions is more related to the rear springs. Do I need springs seats or spring pads or both? Is it seats for the bottom and pads for the top and if yes are the nolathane pads any good?

don't get too excited about the arse end until you've pulled the front apart and found all the worn out bushes and rubbers - there's a few.

Cheap coilies are throwing money away they'll be bouncy and leaky in no time. Adjusters will seize or just plain do nothing pretty quick.
