Tokico HP strut/sping combo

ok i searched here and the net. my shocks and springs are prety much shot. i want to replace them with tokico HP struts and the tokico lowering springs. only problem is everywhere i find the combo it says will not fit 2+2 models. where can i find a set that will, and why wont they work?

thanks

They will fit. The 2+2 was heavier and designed to carry more passengers (more weight, in other words) so it used higher load springs. I'm not sure if the shocks themselves were any different though I doubt it. A performance spring is stiffer by design and so would work just fine with your 2+2.

I looked it up and the 2 seater and 2+2 both used the same struts.
