the question always gets an answer about valving this and that bla bla bla. I have a chance to get struts & coilovers for $400cdn shipped here, but they are for an AWD. I don't care if the struts are valved differently or if the spring rate is whatever different (because that is always the reason given for why we have different suspension parts).

Will These Struts & Coilovers Fit Into & Bolt Up To My ESi?

I have been told that AWD and FWD is the exact same physically. Just like you said, the spring rate is different and will give a bumpier ride.

But I never looked at the suspension on my ESi, so I can't confirm for sure.

The struts are the same. Since Koni reds and yellows fit either FWD or AWD so that means they still have to bolt up. And H&R sells the same springs for both FWD and AWD use. sooo they must fit. yay, I get to lower my car now.

I agree. I've had my suspension out a couple times and I don't see any problems "Fitting" the struts on your car. none whatsoever.

Yay, now you get to lower your car. emoji
