if you are spindle type then I don't see how you can use them with the JIC susension. The JIC should have the spindle already on them. Sometimes they will charge you a core charge and have to give back your stock spindles to get your money back.

no.

the spindle is welded to the shock body -- if you're buying new or used jics (or any coilover for this car in general), the coilovers will come with a spindle. since the spindles are attached, you won't be able to use the original ones.
