After the install his ride hieght was way to low and there was no more room for adjustment to raise his ride hieght. He also had to ghetto rig the rears to even bolt up at all.
I know the lower mounts are different, but that has nothing to do with collars, they simply slide over the shock and rest on a snap ring or the cut down original mount for the regular coil. The rear coils are about the same size as the coilover coils.

And the FWD's are not lower, the lower mount in the rear is different, possibly lower than the AWD mount. If I were your buddy, I would've sent back those coilovers he bought. I don't think I'd want anything "ghetto rigged" on my suspension.
