go with whatever the off the shelf rates are. keep in mind koni yellows for this chassis are just inserts and require you to cut up the stock struts to make them work.

If the car is your daily driver then I highly recommend the a-spec suspension kit. It lowers the car about 1" and handles a lot better than stock without sacrificing much ride quality. It's $650 shipped brand new from curry acura and it comes fully assembled with the tophats. Bolts right on to a rsx, for an EP3 you're gonna need rsx tie rod ends and shave the rear shock bushings about 3mm. If you're really on a tight budget then get a used DC5 type r suspension from ebay, they usually go for about $350 shipped and is basically identical to the a-spec kit.
