the rears should fit i believe but the front will not. the bolt sizes are different for the camber bolt. 04-5 and some 03 are larger. 01-02 are smaller.
i got 04 rear stock shocks and springs with under 10k. let me know if your interested

well 01-02 have the bolts 14mm but the 50mm to 55mm are mixed for the year for honda so they say you have to measure before you purchace in some cases

As long as the upper mount and the shock match up, then it doesn't matter about the 50 or 55mm. That is, the upper mount has to be for a 50mm shock if you use one. Either than that, they can go on any car barring the 14/16 mm bolt problem.

Is this really a huge problem? Would it still be able to be installed regardless since it's a small difference in bolt sizes? I'm assuming a 14mm bolt head wouldn't go through a 16mm or 50mm bolt head going through a 55??
