Just to expand on Scott's answer a little...

FD's have completely different suspension setup compared to FC's. They use double wishbones all round; we have McPherson struts up front and semi-trailing arms at the rear. No parts would be interchangable.

You could always buy the coilover kit then waste all of your time and money for the next 6-12 months putting an FD suspension under the car just so you can use a coilover kit that you found a deal on...

And then find out that you hate the suspension because the suspension is so stiff you could drop the car off of a building and it would barely budge, meaning handling on real world roads is destroyed...
