Yeah if u go to home depot they have a tool called a unibit and just use that and drill the hole out to about 11/16 or keep drilling at each indentation of the unibit until u get just the right size. Also if u do it urself when drilling one side has to be bigger and the other side smaller due to the bolt head being bigger and the threaded side being smaller just something to keep in mind when drilling. Its not hard at all i did my suspension myself on my 04 vic

I researched this a while back. It appears that you can use the tokicos that are made for the ep3 (aka 02+ civic si). They should bolt on 100% no modification. In fact on tokicos web site the part number for the non si is HB3204 & the si is HB3204A. I would tend to bet that the only thing that A means is that its a modded version of the prior (aka 16mm holes)..
