Evo.... I think they're the ones Jackson Tuning used to sell?

They're decent for the price.

Not sure about spanners sorry, but Halfords eBay or Awesome would probably have them?

Normally a C-Spanner is included with the coilovers.

I see. I'd PM the seller and ask why it's not included to be honest.

Yeh you can remove the plastic lining, it does help.

rolling the arches - basically, feel under your arch, you can feel an edge there, rolling an arch rolls this lip on itself so the lip is flush.

Hard to explain, this should help

Look at this pic, the bottom of the arch isn't rolled, the top is.....
