they'll fit. 03 accord and tsx stuffs will work with no problems. you might find your 'old' ones to be in good condition, so check that out before you assemble the new set up. I was amazed at the excellent condition mine were in when I pulled them out.

post some pictures when you do the install. i'd like to compare the springs on the same shocks. also post what height adjustment you set the shocks on. I left my rear at OEM and my front on the lower setting. I went with the koni sport 'yellow' w/ eibach springs. I love the improved vehicle response to turn in. Looks good, too! Not telling you what to do or anything, but the H&R will sit lower in the front so if you put it on the lower height setting, you may be tucking tire. idk if that's what you're going for, but just letting you know.

I'm not sure why the front would be different if the shock and spring are interchangeable. That doesn't make sense.

I totally get the saving time thing, especially if you already have the parts. However, it honestly only takes like 5 minutes to switch out the top hats if you have an impact!

Don't forget to post pics in this thread!
