Does anybody know if the springs in the front are different between an 02 and 03. Because my friend has an 03 and I have an 02 I think the 02 springs are bigger than his front springs. Does anybody? thanks in advance know I looked around but couldn't find anything. thanks in advance

I'm curious what you mean by bigger.

The length of an unloaded spring might be affected by how long it was under load before it was taken off the strut.

An HFP front strut or a Mugen front strut when placed next to a USDM OEM front strut will appear shorter than the USDM OEM strut.

I meant how big around the spring is, and the shock perch it sits on. But I figrued it out my friends an idiot he thought his springs were cut caused they made a weird noise. So I made him take his rim off and he has the tein basic coilover kit. He bought the car used so he didn't know and the dealer didn't tell him. But lucky him from cut springs to Tein.
