I installed my JIC coilovers with ease. Took my time (had my girlfriend help as a second hand which came in handy) Took a break midway also. took me most of the day but was worth it.

Knocking sound is either loose nuts on the top of the strut or sway bar connections. Most common anyway.

Yes, make sure your nuts are tightened to spec on the strut tower.
