Backs are easier than fronts.
Fronts youll need spring.compressors to get the top mounts off the old suspension. Plus a special tool or chisel to undo a locknut holding the topmount on

You pay for what you get with coilovers. FK are budget so expect a soft budget ride.

just impact driver top nut from top mount on fronts remove as a complete unit,fit coilovers with new mounts easy.
same for backs,that way if you hate the ride you can just refit old shocks and springs.

You get what you pay for with cheap coilovers,like anything else.

Harsh ride springs to mind and it gets harder the higher you set it as the helper springs are softer than the main springs and compress into a solid mass the higher you set it.

You will need to reset front camber as it will go right out as soon as you undo the 2 bolts at the bottom of each front strut.
