Hi, I've been lurking for a while and this is my first post. I searched and couldn't find an exact answer.

I ordered a set of springs for my 97 ex 4 dr and received a part # that is supposed to fit a 98-02. Will these parts be interchangeable? I don't think they are but I figured I'd ask the forum before I escalate the transaction through ebay.

 

Fairly sure the 98-02s are heavier. So the spring rates may be all wrong for the CD.
Simply, if they are not the parts you ordered, it is not the part that you wanted. Return the springs for the set you ordered.

 

I believe the springs are different (spring compatibility is 90-97). Personally I would let the seller know first before you escalate but it is your choice. I would just make sure I got the item I paid for.
