02 lx with 05 struts?
Hello I have finishe (I thought) a engine and Trans swap fom an 05 to an 02. The struts have diferent sized mounting bolts on the bottom. should I swap the knukles and struts in from the 05 or do I need to stick with all 02 parts on the suspention?

Really, the only difference is the size of the crash bolt. I've heard of people drilling it out from 14mm to 16mm.

also, in terms of STOCK struts, the 01-02 uses a 50mm strut housing and the 03-05 uses a 55mm strut housing. bitter strut, better built.
