OK, you asked for it......
1st, I would strongly recommend that you consider some alternatives to the Spohn lowers. I bought mine from Marcus and had several issues;
  1. They had to be sent back to Spohn to have the mounts widened . They claimed that the delrin bushings were not as forgiving as rubber and that may cause some fitment issues.
  2. mark had to cut off and reweld the sway bar mount because it's position did not allow the sway bar to mount vertically which caused interference with the turn radius.
  3. depending on your Wheel/tire setup the lower mounting plate could scrub the inner surface of your wheels on a full turn.
As far as the varishocks the one thing I will say is do not waste your money on Alstons adjustment tool. It's all but worthless. I cut the handle off of mine and welded an old 3/8" drive socket on it so I could attach a long ratchet to it . Alstons is just too short to do any good on a G body.
Let me also mention that my lowers were originally for standard coil springs and shocks, but I was told they would work fine since there is verly litle difference between them and the coil over design.
Here are some pictures;
