I am running D&D coilovers and Illumina struts with stock K-member, A-arms, and spindles.
I had to remove the dust cover and ring from the strut to make it work, but it works fine.

I have 17X9 245/40/ZR17. They are really close to the rim, but are fine. I am not sure what size springs I have.
I like the car better with them on. Later I want to do the rear.

Mike are Maier racing actually steered me away from coilovers,and he was the one that was going to sell them to me. he said a set of H&R's paired with a nice set of struts/shocks would do plenty and even more than what most people would want out of their car, but that was before, now I think that if you got the doe, then do it, but don't get a cheap set, get some bilstien's/konis and roll with a kit like maximum or griggs.

i have the Tokico 5-way adjustable struts/shocks and was thinking of going with the maximum motorsports coil-over kit, but my ? is will they fit in front with 17 x 9in rims, the rims and tire are very close to the strut now(like 1/4 to 1/2in )and is it worth it to put in the rear
(car is for street and some autocross /maybe some open track, but!! i still would like to go straight line time to time ( to shut my buddies up)
also i will be putting sn-95 spindles with cobra 13in. brakes in the future.......HOW WILL THIS AFFECT IT....

I thought I mentioned the kit. It is a D&D coil over kit with Maxximun Motorsports C&C plates.
