Dont see why not, you can fit eibach/KW etc etc springs on them so why not the JCW springs?

Here is my JCW suspension kit waiting to go on...

these spring look to be linear (windings equally spaced), but some insist that they are progressive. ??

Before a week ago I've just installed the JCW suspension kit. The car lowered a little. The car is stiffer than before. On the other hand I can feel the difference while in the road, curves and speeding, it is more stable than before

It would explain the "more comfort" perception if the springs are progressive. Most of the time, higher linear spring rate (even with matched dampers) result in stiffer ride.

Has anyone measure the spring rate and shock rate of the JCW suspension?
