are you talking about the full prostreet setup or just the springs?
the full setup like the one shown on their website
They don't make the Prostreets anymore and won't.
As for the install, I wouldn't know. But I hope you have a set of struts for them.
Pick up a set of Koni Yellows, Tokico D-Specs or KYB AGX (can't lower more than 1.5 inches or you will void the warranty.)
Update your profile so we know what the hell your driving and what is on it!
if they are the complete setups, as in these
they are cake to install
^^I remember when mine were that clean^^ Guess that means I gotta clean mine...
I think it's these:
He said from the website and these are the only ones they offer anymore.
B&G made the Prostreets, so you can
contact them and see if they have any left in stock.
I'm wondering why you bought these coilovers and didn't know what you were getting into. If it is the Prostreets, which I doubt, then you will need the 95-99 strut mounts. From there it is a simple bolt on package. If you got just the coilovers as listed on their website, then you will need a set of struts, as stock struts will most likely blow when being lowered. Like I said before. Pick up a set of Koni Yellows, Tokico D-Specs or KYB AGX (can't lower more than 1.5 inches or you will void the warranty.)
^^ thoes r the coilovers that i have
Thought so, but in any manner, you do need STRUTS! And
NO OEM replacement ones.
Ok, one last time:
1. KONI YELLOWS
OR
2. TOKICO D-SPECS
OR
3. KYB AGX (BUT YOU CAN'T LOWER ON THESE MORE THAN 1.5'' OR YOU WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY!)
I'd go with the either Koni's or Tokico's as you will probably drop more than 1.5''.
what about honi reds or would yall recomend yellows
Most recommend Yellows; here's why:

The most popular strut choice for these cars are without a doubt Koni. They are two selections, the Reds and the Yellows. Both are pretty much good for whatever you plan to do, the yellow just go to stiffer damping rate than the Reds and are adjustable while they are on the car. With the Reds, you have to take them off the car to adjust them and guess what…another alignment as well.
You can't use AGX, any coilovers on KYB's stuff voids the warranty. Coilovers = High Spring Rate.
The 1.5" limitation is just an easy way for them to say no really high spring rates. The actual ride height means nothing, it's the spring rate that makes all the difference. If you're bottoming out all the time that voids warranty too.
If can't remember the numbers but they're around here somewhere, the spring rates that KYB will warranty up to.
Maybe they were 300lb/in front and 250lb/in rear... I don't relly remember.
ok im just wondering if there was any way i could get by lowering my ride (2005 2.2L cavy) with just buying rear or front struts??? which ones tend to go first?
also if i were to buy the rk sport coilovers would i still need new struts.....help.

This makes no sense. Struts don't have anything to do with how low your car is.

Long story short, YES.
