yes, I am 100% serious. I had a rear lying around from a jaguar xj12 from 1979. i did some simple math, considering the car weighed close to 3 tons and mine a ton and a half, 2 of 4 of these coils will work just great! they have less than 3000 miles on them. they fit like a glove, no modification, just cleaned em up and boom my car is low again and no hacking!

here's a pic of them drying, i took them for a test drive when they were all gross and rusty. i'll take more pics in a little bit. they look and ride great! nice and stiff, almost no body roll. sorry to brag but this is epic!

and they fit like they were made for the car. clears the brake lines and the e-brake cables are lightly rubbing but that's ok because there's the foam there to protect it.

Mike, look at where my lower shock mount is. These were added on the race car for the exact kind of coilover you have. If you want, i'm sure i can help get you a set of those cones for improved clearance. Let me know.
