tein coilovers on 2003

Can I put the tein coilovers on a 2003 civic ex or do I have to change the upper mounts like the 02, cause I heard that the suspensions are different on each year model.

2k2EXCOUPE will become famous soon enough
I believe change the bearing to an 01. For the bearings its like $28. Not a big deal.

I changed them on my 02.

You actually reuse the OEM upper mount. Just use the 01 front bearings. I just installed my teins this weekend and everything went smooth. no noise no wheel gap. Also some members say that the rear dust cover makes noise if you don't cut them but I didn't cut them.
If you run a quick search on"Tein Installation" you'll find a lot of useful threads too.

From which company are these parts id corresponding...I re-installed my stock springs and now the springs are making this loud popping noise as i make 30-90 degree turns..sound something like PUNG!!!!
I went to the dealer and they tried charging me close to $400 to replace that bearing, which includes the service...I know for a fact that I'm getting ripped off...Please help mr. RobbClark1

Your springs are popping because you didn't line up your strut assembly correctly whem you reinstalled them with the new springs.
