Yes, a coil-over conversion is what you're thinking it is.

I think you may need to get an after market kmember to use coilovers right?

I think the offsets can, the only difference should be the mounting point pushed over 3/4in

back up the train..

you linked a pic to the website, since you were there why didn't you just read what they list for the control arm?

The MM control arms can only be used with a coil-over conversion kit; they do not allow the installation of springs in the stock location.

ok that was dumbest article on coil-overs i've ever read.

Basics
Coilovers will allow you to lower your suspension, and raise it back up with a wrench. Coilovers will replace your stock suspension, and allow your ride to sit on top a unique combination of aftermarket springs and metal parts, working together to lower and stiffen suspension. Using the included raise/lowering wrench, you will be able to lower and raise your vehicles height. Typically, limits are 0-4 inches, depending on most vehicles and wheel sizes however, it is uncommon to lower the complete 4 inches.

the point is to fine tune the setup not to have 'liek omg i have coilovers and i can raise and lower the car yo"
