Question is there a difference between...

jdm and usdm, as far as suspension goes? i found a "sports" set up from honda made by showal on japanparts.com : PARTS DATABASE with a 25mm drop which is about an inch, which would be fine with me since it's all honda official parts, ya know, just for warranty purposes and such.

will it fit our... fits?

You have to make the bolt holes a little bigger.

i believe the spring rates will not be perfect for USDM fits. being that the JDM fit is lighter weight. not sure it is a big deal or not.

Not a big deal as it's only a 100 lbs or so.

that 100lbs might slightly even compensate for the bad roads out here....

which is a good thing.
