if you use just the shock, and no perch, it would work. As the factory set up the spring and perch is too big to be up there (but i am sure you personally are talking about just the shocks, posting that as you cannot use a vw cup kit) i also used bilsteins off a 99 mustang on mine, but they are @ 4" shorter than stock. But that was paired us with h&r springs with one cut coil.. and also need sleeve spacers on the lower mounting bolt.


Hunter, they are done. And i am 99% sure they would work with factory struts as well for a end link upgrade. but the spacing might need changed (add/remover washers and/or longer bolts?)
