title says it.

have kei-office coilovers but the rears are done and cant seem to find parts. will the kei-office coil springs fit standard rear strut? or what is o.e. spring diameter?

wow thank god i didn't get kei office or silk roads. generally the coilover spring is much narrower and shorter than stock spring, so it probably wouldn't work right. i mean if it fit then you could leave it in there until you found a replacement coilover.

your out of luck.. even megans and ksport will offer replacement damper if you contact em. Your gonna blow this OE struts because they cant take the higher spring rate of the spring.

Best bet is to sell em used to some noob who wants their first coilovers and save up for a new set.
