The original nuts that secure the bolts through the backing plates on my '30 Coupe have a built-in spacer to fit into a recess. The nuts that came with my kit didn't, and the new bolts are a different thread, so you can't reuse the old nuts. I made some small spacers to compensate. If this is the case with the kit you have, I would strongly recommend that you take the time to get longer bolts the same thread as the originals, drill a cotter pin hole through them, and reused the original nuts.

That being said, I'm very happy with my tubular shocks and would definitely do it again. If you just want the rears, I'm pretty sure that Ken will sell you a rear set only.
Yes he will I just bought a set from him last week.
