yes they can fit but dont get them. 1. they are total crap. 2. you will blow out your struts quick. 3. BUY QUALITY SUSPENCHION PRODUCTS!...dont risk cheap parts if something fails you can hurt/kill yourself or someone else.

Expect your car to ride like total crap and be very very very very bouncy w/ ebay coilovers. IF you wanna drop your car...your gonna spend $400+ EASY

Well when you want to put coilovers on the car you need to change the struts out anyways....so it wont matter what the stock ones look like cus you shouldnt uses them.

so you bought the ebay coil overs or you're looking at pictures and the car to see if you think it looks like it will fit?

note that the pictures on ebay may not be exact.

start with the Haynes manual so you know the proper steps for changing out the rear suspension.

next download and review the installation instructions with the parts you're going to buy. if you can't find good instructions - then that should clue you into the risk you are taking with their product . contact the manufacturer to verify fitment - again, if you can't get that info then you are taking a risk and wasting money.

honestly, your best bet is just to buy straight stock replacements. hondapartsdeals.com is a good source for OEM parts.

suspension isn't cheap and it's very important. if you can afford a drop, then go OEM.

yes you can....not a good idea AT ALL...but expect the ebay coilovers to kill your struts in about a week..month tops. Also watch out about thos coilover sleeves they tent to break very easily..once they break your screwed.

KYB Gr2's are OEM replacement only...so they will blow just like your stock ones will.

I’m sure if you searched google you can find some pics.
