Anyone know for SURE

whether S2k/RSX valve springs, seats and retainers will fit inside the A3 head? I'm gonna go and get these installed and want to make sure before I order the parts.

I think they do, but someone said they didn't. Check out this post though, he's about to do it- http://www.ephatch.com/forum/showthread.php?t=41464. So I guess I was right!?!

Everything I have read points to YES they fit.

yea i've seen that list, but I'm being told that getting new seats isn't really necessary...and that getting new seats means removal of head, whereas installing new valve springs and retainers can be done with the head on the block...anyone who knows what they're talking about care to chime in? because i certainly don't :)

According to my friend who has done it on an a2 you have to remove the head and the cams and the chain....
