the upper strut bar should work perfectly fine with the D2s
Here's a picture of what you need to drill http://www.webpost.com/vnlilman/_myf...ges/camber.jpg
sorry i know kinda hard to see and its a different suspension but if i have time i'll try to get pics of the D2s and what you have to drill.
BUT as i said, if you get the EP3 ones you probably wont have to drill it. But you might want to get custom spring rates because their spring rates are different from ours. Ours normally come with 6kg up front 8kg rear, i think theirs come with 8kg front and 10kg rear. You can always use their spring rates but it'll cause for a stiffer ride, some people like it some people dont...

Sorry but this is a newb question. I understand that the D2 coilovers need to be modified (drilled) to fit the 03 civics. Do the hayames also need to be modified? The Hayame thread was too large to search through. Thanks
Yes the hayames need to be drilled out to. Just take a 16mm drill bit and it will make the hole the perfect size. Just make sure when you drill out the top hole which is more oval shaped since it is used to fix camber, you still make it oval and not just have a bigger hole thru the smaller oval one, because then you can't fix camber.

or get D2 for EP3, camber bolt is already 16mm, but i don't know about the rest. VNlilMAN mention it will fit, and he didn't say any mod is needed, so i guess is direct bolt on.
SlammedBlueEM2, you can turn it 6 full times.
The front I have it 2 turns away from softest(I think i'm going to change it to 1 turn now that I put back my 18s)
The rear I have it turned 1 turn away from stiffest.
Yoyoio, you actually shouldnt use the dc5(i'm assuming thats what you meant) cause there are things that are slightly different BUT yes you should be able to use the EP3 ones. Only thing is they come with different spring rates(8kg/10kg) so your going to have to order custom spring rates(6kg/8kg) unless if you want to use the stiffer ones.
Just would like to make a post about the D2's as well. I got these on last weekend. Both front and back are on the softest setting. I am currently riding on 205/40/17's and the ride is very impressive so far. I can still feel the bumps of the road a little b/c of the tires I believe, but other than that the ride is pretty smooth going over bumps which use to make me bottom out w/ my ground controls and stock struts. NOTE: after installation the front springs would creak and pop when turning slow or turning the wheel. This was fixed by tighting the 2nd locknut (the bottom one) good and tight up against the other one. This should be really tight or you'll still get a lil' creaking. (no biggie) just thought I would throw it out there for you guys. So far everything else has been ok and best of all the ride is smooth.
Also purchased mine through urban import, had no problems.
