I have noticed that some shock like tokico say that they are compatible w/ coilovers is there something that I should be aware of are there shocks that aren't compatible w/ coilovers or am I just iterpreting the info wrong?Thanks for any help,Matt

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I just bought a set of Skunk2 coilovers, and i have tokico struts. I didnt even think of this until now but, are they going to be compatible?

The parts will all fit your car (assuming you bought the right ones). Any shock designed to work on our cars can be assembled with either coilovers or conventional springs. It's not the fact that you're using coilovers that causes the problem. The stiffer springs require additional damping power--some people are satisified with the tokicos, some aren't. Revalved bilstiens, for example, would probably be the most 'compatible' with coilovers, but performance costs
