i don't think i can, they came with the 14MM bolt holes and i have the 16MM. I know i can just drill them out to MM but the top hole came with its own camber bolt and the hole for this is slotted and has some small track plated for the camber bolt to roll on as you set the camber here are some pics of what I'm talking about.



Im going to see if they make them with the 16mm and if they can exchange them for me.

Has any one here modified there KW coilovers to fit 03-05 from 01 civic? Idid say i had 03 with 16MM bolt when i ordered them

This things handle great. I have them at about a 2" drop and still could take them down about another inch. i do not recommend these to any one with the 16MM bolts. I had to modify the **** out of the front to get them on. know I'm working with Edd and the people over at spc to come up with a camber bolt for these. If you have the 14MM camber bolts these will be a direct bolt on.

the ride is smooth then again it depends on the road. the faster i go the smoother they feel. now if I'm going slow on a bad (bumpy) road they get a little bouncy but they take the bumps really good.(dampers absorb the bumps very nice)

All the modifications i had to do to the front struts was a bitch SS steel is hard to drill and grind. i should have waited for the progress. but then again these handle great and i wanted to change my suspension this summer. good luck with the progress and i hope you get them soon
