Question Will an 04 ep3 suspension fit onto 01 civic sedan?

Well, my 01 suspension totally sucks. I know some one selling their 04 ep3 suspension for an excellent price (shocks, springs, upper mounts). I was just wondering, will these fit directly onto my 2001 civic sedan? Or will some modification be needed? Help please, I need answers quick, because he has other potential buyers.

yes it will fit but the springs are different lengths and different spring rates because of the different weight distribution. With that said, you can put them in your car, but it will most likely be lopsided.

16mm crash bolts don't fit in 14 mm holes. 14 mm crash bolts don't hold too well in 16mm holes, and the springs are different lengths.
Off hand I'd have to go with no.
