Stock 02 EP3 Front Shocks Same as 04 RSX-S ?????
Okay so here is the deal. I was trying to install my Tein S Tech Springs today. As I was removing the front factory shock I noticed that the main stud where you would put in the allen key to take it off is stripped
I know this ain't my car I just wanted to show what I mean.

Inside that stud I circled in the middle of the strut tower it is stripped.
Now my friend with a 02 Civic SI (EP3) gave me his stock shock to use since I know I would now have to replace my whole shock once I get my old stripped one off. So here is my questions:
1) Can I use his stock shock in place of my broken one?
2) Will it fit just like my OEM one or is modification needed?
3) Will there be a noticable difference driving my car with one of my shocks being off his EP3?
Thanks in advance for the help.
