Question Zx2 trunk kit shocks/struts and coil-overs?

Will the shocks in the Ford Motorsports Zx2 trunk kit work with a threaded body coil-over kit? thanks, rob

What about the front struts- it looks as though they have a welded on lower perch. I've only used coil-overs with straight tube shocks that have clip or ring on the body to support the lower perch. Just wondering if protege owners are using the Ford kit with a coil over set up and how they're managing the welded on perch. thanks- rob

I'm using threaded coilovers (made for the pro) with the ZX2 struts. No problems whatsoever with installing it. If the welded on perch will support the springs why not the coilover springs? Mine sit just fine and level.

thanks for the answers. Now I know to keep an eye for the coil-over deals. But first it's clutch time.
