I would think most will be sized for a 2 1/4" or 2 1/2" ID spring. Either will work with the 2.5" springs. You want to make sure the "hat" that holds the top of the spring is sized correctly for the Koni shock shaft.

My car had ebay sleeves. I recall the issue was more getting sleeves that fit the shock body, especially since the Konis are a smaller diameter. Lots of online talk about rubber o-rings to take up the slack.
The Bilsteins are bigger than the Konis so I got pointed to the an ebay set for a Celica that ended up fitting the shocks perfectly. No problem with 2.5" springs.Rod H

NB hats are the cheap way to go. Would have been a little easier to start with NB shocks but if you didn't I have to hook for you.

I used cheap ebay sleeve/adjusters on the front of my RallyCross RX-7 for a long time. Included in the kit were some orings that took up the space between the strut body and the ID of the sleeve. I never had an issue with them.Charles
