ok, i read 2 discussions about this and got diff results.
so i got a 02 civic and im wondering what will be the best way to go on suspension ep3 or rsx.
and wat could i do to eliminate the rear sag on it.
i would like to know quick so i can install in this month.

If I wanted to just replace the springs, could I swap out my '02 lx springs for stock rsx type-s or stock civic si springs? Will it have any effect? Maybe a small drop and a little stiffer ride?

Thats Correct!, but its easier tu put on the 5 lug from 04-05 civic Si.
1) Front, direct bolt on.
2) Back, direct bolt on.

Major thread bump..

RSX rear tie bars fit em2s right?

If you're referring to subframe bracing, then yes.

MindBomber

Yes, thats what I thought, but I wanted to check. Thanks.

question if i get lowering springs from the dc5 can it fit on my o2 civic coupe thanks

01_civic

i believe the rsx springs are taller and would make your ride sit uneven.

MindBomber

I have H&R springs from an RSX and the car sits level.

Got pics?

I had goldline RSX springs, it sat fine. But the car was higher than an rsx would be on those springs, because the rsx is heavier...

theineffable

i guess civic trim level might also play a role in how it sits? my civic Si-G (usa ex w/ group option package) is probably only 50-75lbs lighter than an rsx.

Harlowe

I have an LX. And at the time, it was probably the same curb weight that it's rated from the factory. Under 2500lbs IIRC.

theineffable

i just looked it up...so stock for stock, the rsx weighs approx 150lbs more than my car...

canadian 2002 si-g has a curb weight of 2562lbs (w/out all the crap that's in my car)

02 rsx premium is 2700lbs...

i actually weighed my car on a truck scale not too long ago. after subtracting the passengers and sub box, my car was really heavy. came out to over 2700lbs w/ a sub and a full tank of gas.

just wanna clarify guys.

the function7 for 02-05 civic si, will fit the 01-05 civic em2/ES?

Yes. DC5's will not fit the 01-05 Civic trailing arms, as the mounting pattern is rotated. The EP3 trailing arms have the same mounting pattern orientation.

Can anyone tell me what to expect on ride height with oem ep3 or dc5 suspension on em2?

Thanks

The only real difference would be in the rear suspension. It won't be a drastic difference, though.

rooster em2

Thanks Matt,

So most likely the over all height of the shocks assemblies are the same but the ep3 will be stiffer causing the car to sit a little higher. right?

Pretty much, yeah.

wow some good info going on.
after visiting couple of sites .
my final question is.
i've got a 05 Civic sedan. non-Si.
so if i get an 05 ep3 coilovers. its a straight bolt on right.
thank you!

It Wasn't Me

As previously noted in this thread, yes, it will fit.

peter514

lol thanksss

hello everyone, I'm new, but i read a lot of your forum guys, it helps me much! and I have one question about 5 lugs conversion for EM2, for this topic, which is closed now but its an important thing: https://honda-tech.com/forums/honda-civic-2001-2005-78/5-lug-brake-swap-information-em2-es1-01-05-a-2662488/

I found an Honda Integra Type R 5 lugs conversion with brembo brakes. I want to know is Integra Type R knuckles/hubs wil fitt to EM2 axels or i need to buy base RSX knuckles/hubs?

daniyar19@gmail.com this is my email, in case of something wrong!

THANK YOU SO MUCH AGAIN!

P.S. just to spoke with a guy about axels, he said that JDM Integra Type R knuckles/hubs will NOT fit to EM2axels civics
so there a question(!) do the BREMBO brakes fit to RSX Base Knuckles/hubs ? OR can i change the bearing inside of the knuckle? bearing and the ring that goes with?
