they should, but the front will probably sit a bit higher then what you'll be expecting since they're probably tuned to support the v6 accord's heavier motor.

you really should get some springs specific to your application.

yea I bought them off ebay, they are brand new but it was advertised as 98-01 accord lowering springs. I did not know there was a difference between V6 and I4 springs.

fluxion is correct. the springs will fit perfectly, but the front end will sit close to stock height. the v6 models are about 300 lbs heavier than the 4-cyl models, and all of that weight difference is in the front. i suggest selling the v6 springs and buying some 4-cyl springs, because you will most likely be disappointed with the results of installing the v6 springs.
