The SportRack Semi-Custom Roof Rack consisting of parts # SR1002 and # SR1116 is indeed a correct fit for your 2002 Honda Accord 2-door. When installed on your roof the two square cross bars will be separated (as measured from the center of one bar to the center of the other) by 23-1/2-inches. The Curt cargo basket you referenced, part # C18115, requires that the vehicle cross bar spread be one of three specific distances (15-, 22-, or 29-inches) in order for its mounting hardware to install properly.

A better cargo basket option for your Accord is the Rhino-Rack # RMCB which fits bar spreads from 21- to 30-inches. This unit will work fine on the roof rack's square crossbars and it comes complete with a noise-reducing wind fairing like the Curt basket. A video on this basket is linked for your review.

It is a good idea to check your Accord owner's manual for any guidance related to rooftop cargo weight before loading your basket. Keep in mind the roof's weight limit must also include the weight of the basket itself along with the weight of the loaded cargo.
