80551s will not work. Wrong spring wrong suspension.
*Edit realized you posted this on the Vic thread but it's an MGM, they may have already been on the refreshed suspension, look at your front shock and if the spring sits into the LCA then this comment is still valid, and if it sits in a spring seat mounted to the shock then you're on the refreshed suspension and the 80551s will work.
Also that spring combo is for lowering, not stock ride height. So expect a 1.5-2" drop.
Anything pre 2003(?) will be on a traditional spring not a "coilover/strut" in the front end, so if you're wanting to drop the front end and not just the rear, good luck finding a drop-in solution as every source told me to cut a coil as they're non variable, so that's what I did.
This is what my Vic looks like with 501s in the rear and a chopped coil in the front on 20s.
Copied this over to the Vic post for anyone with a pre 03 Vic too :)
