B&G's S3 coilovers.. direct fit on 03+?
i know theirs been issues with the 03+ civics suspension bolts/mounts compared to the 01-02's. my question is would the B&G's S3 true coilover system bolt right up to the 2003 coupe? heres the link: http://www.tunersports.com/product_i...oducts_id=2001
has b&g made only 1 set thats specifically for 01-02 or does their one set fit all 01+ civics? Would the 2003+ owners need to purchase the 01 mounts? if so, anything else besides just the top mounts?
and lastly, anyone here riding on b&gs in their 03+ civic?
thanks

Rep Power: 0 u asked this in my thread...
they will fit.. ur car has a wider bolt tho..
so what u gotta do is grab a B&G front.. and u get a drill or a "hole widener cant thing of technical name) drill it out so that ur oem bolt will fit thru...
top mounts=urs fit.. just they are said to make noises.. so u go out and buy some from honda 56$ or id just ride on 03 tops and IF i had a proble then buy em..if needed.. its not a "safety" issue w/ tops cause the B&G has a metal top peice.. its just a noise thing.. some have it some dont.
soo ina nut shell.. buy a B&G S3 for an 01... drill holes out a lil wider(no structualr difference casue theirs alot of extra metal.. and slap on w/ oe 03 tops.. wait a week listen no probs good to go.. problems buy 56$ in honda parts..
riley
btw B&G still for sale
