yea the front bolts have changed but the rears will fit like a GLOVE!!! the fronts (sleeved coilovers only ) can be modded with simple use of tape....but springs will fit no problem!

okay well on my ground controls if you got a 2004 civic get the 2003 coilvers. But the fronts won't fit over the shock with the rubber O-ring so you gotta wrap tape around the shock instead of using the O-ring so that the sleeve stays in place....really simple!

The mounting bracket bolts for the front shocks might be different. There are some cars with 14mm and some cars with 16mm. Honda kept switching the design. Usually anything for the 7thgen civic will fit. Some parts like the rear sway bar or full coils will fit from an Si or with some modification, the RSX.

Did anyone else have to use tape to make coilovers fit. What about you MATRIX311???? And would it be better to go with SKUNK2 Springs, How would the ride look like on 205-40-17 tires. How many inches people drop their 7thgens on those tires
