Jay (Xtremewheels) is baffling me with terminology 
Can you tell me the difference between:
Semi Coilover suspension kit
and a normal
Coilover suspension kit?
Am I right in assuming that the semi is only front adjustable? And, if this is the case, does would the rear have a fixed lowered rate or be more or less standard?
To explain a little, the car needs lowering at the front but there is very little lowering capacity at the rear so.... maybe a semi would work, would depend if my assumption that the rear is standard is correct 
Mind you, his back springs are fractured anyway so heaven knows what it should really look like.

Correct, normally 60mm on the rear.
FK kits are 'fully' adjustable, the rears come with a shorter spring and an adjuster which sits under it, so the height can be altered between 30 and 60mm (numbers are probably wrong, but that's the idea of them)
Full coilovers are front and rear height adjustment, but they're quite uncommon, most coilover kits are only front adjustable

Best check the rear drop before we buy then otherwise serious wheel scrub with his kit.
