Default jic magic coilovers doesn't fit

sup everyone, i just bought some jic magic coilovers and the front pillow ball mount doesn't fit for nothing, it doesn't line up to the holes at all. i guess i'll have to return it? or should i contact jic and try to change the pillow ball mount?
thanks for the help

did you have to pay extra for the mounts, or do they already come with the coilovers? if they came together, then chances are you have the wrong coilovers, too. if purchased separately, then it's possible that only the mounts are the wrong parts, but i would still check to make sure you have that right coilovers as well.

uh...i wounldnt be suprised if they were.....assuming the only 98-02 accord they ever seem to mod over there is the euro-r and the SiR wagons....neither of which are even close to the USDM accord....

Im pretty sure the application was made for the JDM / Euro Accord. Question is.. is the JDM & USDM suspension different (as far as springs/shocks)?
