Icon3 GC Coilover from JHP USA

I've just ordered some GC coilover from JHPUSA.com and was wondering if anybody knew if it would fit stock struts? cause all it saids was that it is universal. Ive called and asked but the guy didnt seem to sure. Heres the link http://jhpusa.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=1661

You know you were supposed to tell them what shock you have right?

Ground controls fit stock, OR koni, OR kyb, OR TOKICO, OR etc.

But not all of them in the same application; you gotta tell them which one.
The sleeve changes for each app. Seeing as each different shock has a different body diameter and what not

afaik aftermarket springs with stock shocks will destroy your stock shocks quite quickly.

oem springs allow the shocks to compress most of the way, aftermarket springs w/higher rates rebound more quickly and don't allow the shock to compress as fully - therefore limiting the performance of the shock because it's not designed to operate as it does with aftermarket springs.
