That would be a yes in answer to your question, pictures 1,3 and 4 all show the flat circa 24mm (or is it 32mm) top to the strut that requires undoing to slide out the shock.

Thanks for reply thought so made a point of gettin that in the pic. What would be a good combination to get in terms of damper and springs dont want too hard a ride some opinions would be great.

I personally have a koni SSK kit (springs and adjustable dampeners) and find it great, but then again I like a harsh ride, however many people rave about the tein springs with various different dampeners, have a search and look at the various comments.
