pin at the top and eye at the bottom and the coil sits apon a seat about 1.5inches from the bottom.

with standard lenght strut towers you can get the rear struts out of a magna mid 90's model and they bolt straight in (bottom bush need to be narrowed a little) but that will give you 3 inch lift in the front with standard coils.
will also need to fix king pin angles badly.(castor plates or bushes)

have seen this done was gonna do it to mine but couldn't due to strut tower being lowered.
