Default Coilover fit question

My friend gave me his old coilovers for his 92 hatch, will they fit on my sister's 94 del sol?

Awesome, next question. Are skunk2 coils and tokico blues a worthy upgrade over stock as far as performace is concerned? The ride height aspect isn't as important as the handeling ability.

Not really a good combo, Blues are almost like stock shocks. Also my friend has that exact setup and he doesn't like it, too bouncy.

I have the skunk2 pro-c shocks and VIS racing coil overs.. rides amazing and handles incredibly great. Thumbs up for those.

So the blues are the weak part of that combo? What would you guys ressomend I repalce them with, or are the skunk2's worth pairing with a better shock? If they are only going to work out to somethign mediocre at best then I can find something else. Free is good, but quality is better.

I have Skunk2 Sport Shocks on Skunk2 coilovers and the ride is perfectly fine -- a bit stiff -- but I like it.

tokico blues should not have a drop lowet than 1.5" per factory specs and thats with there springs, i believe skunk2 springs rates are much stiffer.. i had that set up on my coupe.. and all 4 were blown with in a couple of weeks!
