Ahhhh. Not so. There is another section (don't have it off hand) that says,
approximately..."Alternately, all cars may fit coil-over units..." I read
that to mean
you can put just about anything under the car. I never found anything to
nullify that conclusion. The only limit I can see is that you have to keep
