after checking these I found other units from the same person it seems.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/01-03-Mazda-Protege-5-Adjustable-Lowering-Coilovers_W0QQitemZ260433805470QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMotors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories?hash=item3ca310809e&_t rksid=p4506.c0.m245&_trkparms=65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C72%3A1171

The are advertising that these are specific to the vehicle but I have doubts about that.
These for all outward appearences look to be the same Chinese import that these are? Why pay more?

Do the 90 - 94 Mazda Protege 323 Coilover Kit fit the Capri or is it only the 86 - 89 Model?

Only the 86-89. Reason it is easy to find out, cause the parts for those years are interchangeable. you can look up the struts you have in question, and they will be completely different.

Hey Clubby! When looking for parts, try to rember that 323GT drive train is generally the same as a turbo capri and the standard 323 coincides with the N/A Capris. This includes driveshafts and front brakes. I believe the 323s had drum brakes unlike the discs on capris. I do believe the earlier capris that were not imported to the states had rear drums like the standard 323s. Correct me if needed but Good Luck!  Gus

I use ground control. there kit that works for the capri is the mazda 323 kit for the 89 year. its a direct bolt on for our cars. rides and handles great, i use a 2" drop with it.
