There's a damn good reason they're cheap.
If you replaced the shocks and the springs, then with some modifications they could be "good".
It depends what you want. Lows with no ride control or comfort? Fill your boots  Track suspension they aint.

Also, only the front will adjust! The rear is set with the torsion bar.

Seriously, take a moment to visit KAM Racing's website and browse through there.
Unless you need coilovers, you'll probably be happier with standard shocks and springs (like a b8/50mm drop kinda setup). Much better all round. Of course - no "lows".

Take the old one out and put a new one in. Just put any shock you want in it.

yup, everything has to come off to change them, but it's that easy provided the top spring pan fits the shock. Yes you'd have to do both
