I drive a 2002 Rsx base manual..and was wondering what would be a good suspension upgrade for the daily driver. I don't plan on going to the track. However I want something to perform for aggressive driving but comfortable enough for everyday commuting..

Type-Spaz

I would do a good spring/strut combo. Like Eibach Springs and Tokico Blue struts

Or maybe keep it factory and upgrade to an ASPEC or ITR suspension

ALL AND I MEAN ALL stock style lowering springs for the ep3/dc5 are not stiff enough for the drop they give.....when you really spend the time to look things up, most of them are a 20-25% reduction in ride hight....and a 20-25% increase in spring rate..........thats not enough, if you reduce ride hight by 20-25%, you are reducing the space needed to slow down the suspension by that much....so you need to incerase spring rates by more than 50% to stop that wheel from traveling up. Why do spring makers make the springs to soft?....because cheep bastards try to run the stock dampers on their drop springs. You put a 50% stiffer spring on a stock or close to stock damper and its going to gets its guts ripped out..............


higher end cars can get correct rate drop springs because the makers know that when they tell the customer you need dampers....they get the right dampers because they are not poor boy honda owners.....

Unless everywhere you drive is perfect, leave it alone. Since yours is a base i'd look into some ITR sway bars for a nice start or even some Type S bars for a cheap upgrade.

One way you could go that i forgot about is the A-spec suspension
