Caterham Bilstein Shockes - Any use on a Locost?

Would some Bilstein non adjustable coilovers from a Caterham be suitable for a LoCost.

I'm fitting a DeDion back end and the Caterham rear suspension units have an eye at the bottom but a threaded boss at the top which I think may mean they came from a solid axle car.

Any help would be appreciated.

John.

Yes, I use them on my Westfield.

What I don't know about is the length suitability for a Locost. Something to be aware of is that Caterham rear dampers come in 2 very different lengths. The ones that are about 14 inches open length will be about right for a Locost. Other Caterham rear dampers are about 19 inches open length.

The dampers I was refering to, above, all have eyes for 1/2 inch bolts. I think the rears I was describing are for de-dion suspension.
