I've never heard of swapping suspension between generations...I don't think it will work. Companies make different springs for the V6 and I4 for the same year even.

Hmmm, look into it a little. . .I've seen springs for the accord that span 3 generations as far as compatibility is concerned. . .

Personally I doubt that they will, but you should still call the manufacturer to be certain, you might get lucky =)

they wont fit... the 90-97 can use the same springs I believe... but the 98 and up accords have a new suspension. They will not work.

nah they won't work, the suspension is different, now if it was from a 4th to a 5th gen it would work.
