they should, but the CD6 had the H22, so they may sit a little higher than normal up front.

they should be fine, just the spring rate is going to be different than the US spec ones. maybe compare the rates before you pay for them...just for reference.

Why would they sit any higher? Both cars have 2.2L engines, and I dont think the H22 weighs too much more than the F22.

Suspension wise it's the same expect higer spring rates and different shocks! So you can install springs for CD6 on your CD5. For example: Apexi WS coilover, Tein HA,HR,CS are design for the CE1 which is the 5th gen wagon but will work on on the all 5th gen accords!

Sure buddy. With aftermarket springs for your USDM Accord you'll at least know if they are gonna fit your car and what the spring rate is, the change in ride height, etc.

nothing wrong with eibach. espelir or whatever the **** i've never heard of, however.

but yes, they'll fit. the suspension is identical, just different spring rates due to engine weight differences.
