Will FD2 Civic R's suspension setup fits on FA5/FG2?

As topic stated. I'm currently looking for a set of new suspension setup now. I found out that the set of Mugen damper kit's part# on King motorsports' website is for the regular Civic/Civic Hybrid in Japan.

Will the FD2's stock/Mugen/HondaAccess damper kit will fit on the USDM Si & CDM Acura CSX-S at all? It will be nice if these will fit:

it should fit.
but 1564.52 is a little too much for non-adjustibility.
plus shipping.... not worth it... you should just buy rico's skunk2 pro-c coilovers

Re: (i-VTEC_DOHC)

I'm asking just because King uses the regular Civic's suspension part# on their website.

I want SHOWA's damper kit coz I'm using their product on my other car & I like their quality a lot. HFP is like OEM replacement IMO.

Re: (IT GUY)

King Motorsports says....IIRC, they said the FD2R knuckle (where the strut attaches) is dimensionally different from the USDM Si's so the JDM stuff doesn't fit.

Re: (typer_801)

So it's not just the strut's mounting hole is too small, like what happened to the Honda Fit then?

Re: (brzrkr)

I did that already..... a JDM FD2 (type-r) stock suspension would NOT fit into any Non-JDM Civic (2006 +)

The front knuckle for the USDM Si (or any NON-jdm) has a completely different bolt pattern than the JDM CTR.
