Just one kit. It goes on the rear shocks, on top of the adjustable shock collars.

thanks...good thing I asked as I just about ordered 2 pairs. I just pulled the trigger on amazon for front and rears..you are right...saved about $40 by getting them there. Will order the adapters now. Need to find out if a local parts supply place spring compressors that I can rent/use. Thanks for the help!

So, I was asking the dealer for a spanner wrench to adjust my rear springs. They told me it would take a month to get one and would be $44 plus shipping. Well, I remembered I had a few bicycle tools and found a spanner wrench there that I had. It is a Park Tool # HCW5. Get at the local bicycle shop for under $20 or order online. Bike Nashbar has them for $13.95
I adjusted mine the 2nd to last notch.
