Will these fit my car?

My brother, back when he first got his 2k bought a set of tokico springs and struts...he never put them on...and to this day still has them. I can get them for really cheap from him, maybe even for nothing. I have a 4th gen, however, would they still fit my car? Or was the strut set up that much different from the 4th gen to the 5th gen?

I think the progress springs which are currently on my car were previously on a 5th gen (made for a 4th gen though)...

Hmm okay...yeah I'm just asking because they are sitting in the box's in the attic of our garage and I don't think he's ever going to use them, or even sell them. I might be able to coax him out of them for free. So if I can do that, why not you know? So you are saying they will most likey work?

Most likely. If he'd let you remove a strut from his car and compare them with your car, it's solve your question for good.

But I'd say it's worth a try. If they fit, they most likely work.

Lucky for me, I don't have to remove anything but my strut. He has never installed the Tokico's. In general though, are Tokico's good quality and stuff?

I'm pretty sure that the front or rears dont bolt right up

If that was the case dont you think they would sell them as a whole for all 95-03

Good point...but they could also charge a little more by saying it only fits certain years...that's what I was thinking anyway. They could say, since you have an 00-03...you have to pay 40 bucks more. Even though, the item might be the same. That's why I'm asking you guys.

Well to be honest what I said isn't set in stone, I'm not sure it's true--was just a random comment that made its way through a few people and finally to me. If you really want to know, and have the appropriate tools, I'd just remove one of your struts and try putting that sucker on. If it fits just as well as your stocker, there's a 95% chance it'll work just fine.
