For the bog standard 15 no, but they are quite close so you could use them fo a bit of security, anything above yes, when they tried the 18 I had it ment arch work as well, to late for that the damn thing was sprayed. so looking for a nice set of 16" should fit with just spacers.

Re: what think of these coil overs?/

i was comenting on the fact that they are off of a HGTand the HGT is heavier. Therefore they would only fit the JTD or HGT. Although it depends how adjustable they are, i'm no master of suspension setups. Would it be something to do with rebound rates?

Re: what think of these coil overs?/

Dave, i think thats because the Konis on ebay arent rear height adjustable.

If they had that bit on the rear then they would be rear height adjustable.

Re: what think of these coil overs?/

Paid for mine today, my bank wanted me to pay £15 extra to put money in the guys account, post office wanted £5 to post the cash fully insured so i did that, had to get the euros first though, ebay estamate exchange rate was lot less than real price so they end up £410 all in, still saved a bit.

Re: what think of these coil overs?/

looks like an adjuster, kinda. wind it out a bit and it'd make the spring sit higher off the radius arm. never seen that done before
