They will, but you will need to make some holes bigger for the bolts...

is it really tricky to do the modification, cause not a lot ppl with usdm fit have jdm suspension.

How about lowering springs? do the USDM fit and the JDM fit have compatible lowering springs.

All of the JDM coil-over or shocks will not work. The bolt size which bolts to the knuckle, USDM uses 19mm while JDM uses 17mm. Plus if you get the JDM suspension to work, you will need to change the end-link as well.
