RSX suspension on EP3 what has to be done?

Friend has a EP3 and friend has a set of RSX coil overs. Ive read they will bolt on but you have to mod the rear bottom perches??

Can anyone shed some light on this?

differance on ep3.....the "notch" in the rear lca is 3mm smaller that a dc5, you have to trim 3mm from the bushing. The dc5 has larger tierod ends than the ep3....you will need these plus the nuts for them.

Oh ok so basicly the front will need rsx tie rods and the rear will have to trim the rear lower bushings down 3mm. Thats not to bad.

Read the FAQ--it's all spelled out in there.

FWIW, front tierod ends are ~$60/piece last I checked (a couple of years ago).

If you plan on being lowered more than an inch or so, you might want to look into inverted tie rod ends. Just a thought and yes, like Todd said, this is all covered in the FAQ thread.
