Hurt the car = yes
Work = Probably not
Why = too skinny and way too short

This isn't a doctor's office. Where did you get coil-over springs that are 110mm? What's the spring rate? Height? Taper or straight?
There's more that goes into springs than "they look the same". If they're close enough, then yes they'll work. But I haven't seen any kits that use 110mm springs (although I wouldn't be surprised at all if there are plenty out there).

Just so you know yes it can be done. Mine was like that for a long time(years). You are going to destroy your struts, gonna ride like total ass, anf mess your car up. I was tucking about a quater of an inch of the tire with the stock wheel and tires. Having said this I would not recomend you doing that trust me more of a headache than anything else.

get your head out of your @$$ and do it right. If you want to go spring and strut go spring and strut. If you want coilovers get coilovers.


Whats up people?
