Only if you put on the entire shock/spring/tophat combo. You can't mix and match.

Are the drop and handling the same or different from an 02-04?

^^ Not totally sure about that, but one reason they are different is that the springs are different (wound the opposite way)...or something like that

As I already said, you can't mix and match parts. Only the entire assembly can be swapped over.

if you have to swap the whole assembly and it works fine, then why are full coilover setups "supposedly" different from 02-04 as opposed to 05+ ??
