Default Will Prelude Coilovers Fit On My 02' Base Model RSX

i was just wondering if 92-96 prelude coilovers would fit on my car.. idk the brand but it's at http://www.streetstyler.com if you could help me out with that.. (the car weights are very simular so i just thought that the coilover just depended on the spring compression)

I'm guessing no, RSX uses McPherson struts up front, which typically have a larger diameter piston housing than the coilover-type shocks used on 90's model Hondas.

why would you want a cheap coilover for your car up there in the North Dakota winter?? Leave it stock for now, save your money, and buy Ground Controls come spring time.
