Yes they will. There are differences in stock springs due to different engines etc.

If they are aftermarket springs you just have to make sure what accessories the aftermarket coils were designed for otherwise you may not sit level or you may be too stiff or too soft.

All the best

There is something very weird and mysterious that happens with some GU's. Sometimes I will sell a 4" lift coil to someone in a GU and it will sit 5" high. This is a rare occurrence, which I call an anomaly. I can't track it to a particular model, it is a Nissan anomaly.
