I got that kit. It's nice and makes the installation of the struts easy.
I hope everything goes smoothly. I was going to wait to do this untill I had all the bushings and stuff but the other day I jacked up my car and a coil from each side fell out due to rust and now it makes an awful metal on metal sound everytime I go over a bump.

What I did today:
I started her, watched the massive smoke from under the exhaust manifold. Checked coolant for oil, found none.
Stared in amazement at my front right tire, still fully inflated -- a week after I ran over a glass beer bottle because of a neighbor's rice-ass civic that wouldn't get over (1 lane road, they just drove up the middle O_o)
pulled my push button start out of the escort so i can attempt to start the car while tinkering around with the engine (sucks not having help sometimes) i cut my disti plug off and prepped the harness for the new plug thats going on soon
also cleaned and painted my new muffler gunmetal gray. (it was off an integra magnaflow cat back exhaust) its a cool muffler, just to shiny for the protege
went through 4 of each primary & secondary tranny gear sets to find a suitable combo for the rebuild or the replacement tranny.
if all goes well tommorow i should have a bg with a mx3 front subframe & steering rack. a refreshed transmission with welded differential pinion shaft.
& a tranny cooler.
