Not 100% sure - I'd have to measure the mounting bolt locations...

According to this they are different:

So in essence - without modification - no.

They are stiffer than both - but ride nice!! They are really popular for BMW and Porsche setups (that is their main market segment). Most folks don't go this route, as they are pricey! Theyt retail for $1400 new, out of most people's price range for suspension.

OK - update! I just measured the mounting holes on the bottoms. They are 16mm mounting holes. This means that if your lower control arm accepts 16mm shocks - they will work for THAT portion. HOWEVER - the upper mount holes may be different. I have to confirm this with an expert on here....

Located near Orlando FL.

They came off an 01 civic. If the mounts fit, than yes they should fit as the lower holes are 16mm.

Ok - just confirmed that the mount from an 01 will work on an 02+ - just the bearing from an 01 is different.

So thiis should work for any 02, 03, 04 7th gens out there....

If your lower mounting holes on your control arms are 16mm, they should fit no problem (I measured the holes on the coilovers - they are 16mm, which everyone is saying is the diameter for 03+ civics). Apparently KW created 2 different styles of coilovers - ones for 14mm holes, and ones for 16mm holes. I ended up getting the 16mm holes I guess.

You will need to use the included mounts for them to fit - I also incldude new bearings, in case you want to change them out (which I recommend).

Just read on their web site - the 03+ bearings can be used, but you would need to purchase a different upper spring seat (part # 65030114) according to them....
