Exclamation universal coil overs?

i bought some universal coil overs from andysautosports.com and i have a few ?s.

first: will they work with my car? they are 0-4in drop in height and they look to be the same size as a hondas coil overs....the factory springs on the car are about twice the diameter.

second: will they be bouncy with new kyb struts?

thanks, bill

Looks like those only lower the car 1" and only work with Koni struts.

If you can find some used Mopar High Rates, those work great!

ive had the eibach kit on my car for almost a year now and the ride is great. make sure u get the g-ball coilover. it keeps the ride as smooth as possible with coilovers but stiffens up when u whip it into a turn. they come with the progressive springs already on them. i need to re-adjust my height now that its nice again but i usually run a 2.5" drop in front and 2" drop in back.
