I don't know why you wasted your money on aerospeed coilovers in the first place And second of all, why did you buy it if you didn't know if it would fit?

Bad move, man. Bad move. If there's any lowering or stiffer spring rates involved w/ those coilovers, you'll end up blowing out your struts & shocks. You'll probably want to go with something, anything stiffer than stock. Now I'm not sure about fitment issuses, but generally when you get a coilover conversion kit like that you'll have to cutt the lower spring perches on the struts. If that's the case, you would do best to take them to a shop. Your best bet though would be to ebay the arospeed units and get yourself into a spring/shock or real coilover setup. Enjuku racing seems to have reasonable prices on their Eibach & Tein springs. Look around more for prices on the shocks/struts. You could find better deals.

Sell 'em. I don't see any logical reason to buy something when you don't know if it will fit. How much did you pay for them?
