FD coilover suspension question

So I bought my FD guy gave me some JIC coilovers he said were to the car.. Well I tried Installing them and they were mammoth length wise compared to the tokiko illuminas I have.

My question is do these look to even be to a FD?

These would be the rears btw.

They look right but you need to loosen the collars and adjust the height. I'm guessing he didn't give you the spanner wrenches to adjust the collars. You can use a mallet and flathead screwdriver, but be aware that you can screw up the collars if you're not careful.

If you don't know how to adjust the height correctly, then it'd be best to have a professional do them.

That shock body looks ridiculously long. Try and see if there is some adjustment there.

Can you see if the sticker has a legible part number? It also looks like theyre adjusted pretty high (judging by the helper spring being so compressed). I'm guessing the fronts are the same way?
