They would likley fit any car with a strut assembly that has a stable base plate and retaining top provided it has a 50mm shock tube that the alloy base tubes could fit around.

This particular set won't fit a starion as the seller lists
"Spring length is 185mm, tube length is 120mm, and tube ID is 50mm"

A starions shock cartridge is 54mm/55mm outter diameter hence a 50mm tube retainer won't fit over it to seat the springs on.

This coilover set also dosn't have a low tension top spring to take up slack at the full extension of the shocks travel, ie big bumps / dips in road may cause clunking noise as the spring looses contact with the retaining platforms.

Sorry to break bad new
