Default I need to know Will skunk2 EP3 full coilovers fit my 2001 em2

Ok i never post on honda tech but im starten to get frustrated. I wanna get a set of coilovers for my 01 coupe lx. I live in canada and i want stainless steel but i dont want to have to pay more than $1000US. Corsports and Truehonda both tell me that their skunk2 pro series full threaded coilovers will fit my car. The problem is I need to know if those specific coilovers have 16mm crash bolts or 14mm crash bolts. I have read in like 3 different forums 3 different things and on civicforums all i get is "press the search button lots of people have this setup" well no not lots of people have this setup because i cant find anything. Like i found a guy that got jic coilovers to fit his 02 with no problem but i got another guy that says he couldnt get buddyclub N1+ coilovers to fit his 01. Its so confusing. I need some facts right now. Please help me out. I wanna order these because they're exactly what i want but i dont wanna have to go thru hell trying to get htem on.

Skank 2 coilovers are just sleeves, and crappy ones at that. if you're gonna use sleeves, get ground controls.

01 and 02 have the same crash bolts 03-05 have the 16mm bolts. on an 01 or 02, the bolts will fit, but will slide around.

ok so it'll slide wut like 2mm??? thats not that much. "Will they still move if i torque the nuts on really tight??? and how hard is it to drill out 2mm? I know its like 1" thick steel but i have a hammer drill could i just gradually increase it till i got my extra 2mm

You'd be drilling at that all day. Pull the knuckle off, put it in a drill press or a bridgeport and do it the right way. They also have to be straight.
