What brand?
Do you have part #?
Where did you buy them?

If they are springs, yes you can run them with stock struts, hundreds have/are without issue...

Ive never really seen springs and adjusters before tho

i'm just going to go out on a limb and say no they are not compatible with stock suspension. i've not seen an aftermarket coilover that was not an entire self contained strut.

only coilovers that are without shocks/struts WERE Ground control. they were just sleeve overs. to use with factory or after market struts. and they dont make em n e more. if u got any other brand then get ur money back cuz theyre crap.
