I'm looking to pick up this guys tires for my car and he also has coilovers that he does not know anything about. Anyone recognize these coils? 3rd picture.

He has nothing but VW Corrado parts. What makes you think these coilovers would fit on your Mirage?

I don't know crap about coilovers, but just the mounting points have to be the same correct?

They won't fit. The bodies are too long, and the mounting points don't match up. Measured some VW coils I had here.

No. The only thing that's universal about a coilover kit are the springs and perches, and even that's not necessarily universal. The length of the spring, and the spring rate are important to factor in. I'd recommend spending the money on a K-sport coilover kit that is actually designed for the Mirage and will bolt right in.
