Will RSX struts fit an '02????

hey anyone have experience with this? I wanna replace my girl's ride's shocks but don't wanna go thru the trouble of the cutting process. I'd rather just buy used rsx struts and drop them in, if they fit, of course. Thanks for those who know and reply!!!!

It could fit but you will need to change parts. Carbonfibersi said you have to change the front tie rod ends, the two bolts that hold the brake/hud assembly to the suspension and the rear lower suspension bushing has to be trimmed to fit between our factory mounts.
Other than that everything else is straight bolt in.

Nope......tie-rod ends must be changed due to a smaller taper, bottom two strut bolts are 17mm instead of 19mm, and the rear trailing-arm bracket is too small for RSX struts. You have to grind down the bracket.
