Rx8 springs on RX7?

quick question. I bought a set of eibach springs for my 93 FD. but as I looked on the back of the box it had faded lettering that said RX8. Are they the same or do I have to exchange them. The thing is I don't have my receit cuz it's been a while since I bought them

Check the numbers on the springs, they should be:

5525.001 - Front
5525.002 - Rear

If they are different, they are probably not FD springs.

It's not a difficult job, but its tedious work that can take a little bit. Look in the FSM as it has a very good picture of what needs to be done.
