If they say that they will fit then they should fit. However if I were you I would just pu a set of eibach sportline springs on it and call it a day.Good qualiy and inexspensive.

I believe Richard's (srt4hokie) springs were about the same price as those cheap coil overs. His made his car look 100% better. Haven't ridden in it, so I can't attest to the ride.

You will be better off with springs.

Just a FYI if you put those type of coilovers on your car it WILL FAIL state inspection.

well sorta, if your car is in the weeds then no shop's gonna inspect it, crank the perches up to a decent level and most places won't even notice them...of course I'm used to BFE...

...S14?

Yea, I was talking to seth a couple moths ago... he said if the springs arn't tight against the strut then it will fail.

Yea, S14 The 1J was nice while it lasted, but I got an offer I can't refuse.
