I have no idea, but let me know how the ride is with those. I wouldn't mind upgrading my suspension sometime.

well i put in the springs and struts and its really nice its a nice low ride but still stiff and not bottoming out i like it a lot the only problem i was having was the spring are so short that they are put on the strut and wen fully uncompressed they still move around freely, but once the weight of the car is put on that is fixed. ill hopefully post pix soon and also i i have any problems. also, you need an alignment with camber kits

The best fix for that would be to actually take your struts to a machine shop and have the struts shortened and rethreaded the sam amount as the drop. This will prevent the strut from prematurely wearing a maintain ride performance of the original design.
