check out tein s-tech they lower your car 1.5 and they are meant for use on the stock shocks abut its better to upgrade to koni yellows and if u want to spend a lil more money that just go for the coilovers

good luck
Kris

if u get coilovers you dont have to worry about your struts popping because they replace the whole thing struts and springs

Tien SS-p

Eibach Pro-Street-S Coilovers

Megan coilovers ar supposed to be good

the good thing about these is the fact that you can adjust them to any height thats right for you.

 

just wondering what year is your car??? because if u have the k20z1 that u should have an 05-06 which means you still have warrenty so just take it to the dealer and have tham fix it??? Correct me if im wrong

Slamming an RSX = zero suspension travel. Not a very good situation.

 

I'm just went to Yellow's with S.Techs. It actually created the popping sound when I made the switch, and switching back to stock didn't fix it. Overall I like the ride, and the drop is EXACTLY where I want it. The gaps on either side of the wheel are ugly, but it's better than having the crazy 4" gap on top

here's my homie'z DC5 frum 5SICK2....

exactly......

i would not go lower than 1" to 1.25...... any lower can have adverse effects on a strut suspension

 

Suspension travel, both in the front and rear, is extremely poor with the RSX/EP3/01-05 Civic.

That red RSX has got to ride like a piece of crap. I don't care how much you spend on coilovers, there is no fixing the oem Honda geometry.

Koni Yellows and Tein S-tech is about the sweetest setup you can have for a daily driver/part time autox car.

Take two equal coilovers...slam one car (2.5" or more) and give the other one about 1.5" of lowering, and the 1.5" lowered car will handle so much better than the 2.5"+ lowered car.

Function before form IMO.

it has pretty good shock travel...rides like a champion....no bottoming out!!!!

 

The answer is yes, and for that level of drop, take a look at the Eibach Sportlines.

 

HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF PROGRESS COMPETITION FULL COILOVER???

DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE YOU JUDGE HOW THEY RIDE ...

 

i was thinking of getting the skunk 2 coilovers any have these....also they only have a rear camber kit for it do i not also need a front camber kit or not?

there is no research needed in what he is saying...... you can look at the pictures and tell that there is not sufficent suspension travel......

IF YOU WERE FROM HERE ...MY HOMIE WILL GLADELY TAKE YOU ON A RIDE AN PROVE IT TO YOU....IT HAZ PLENTY OF SHOCK TRAVEL AND IT DOESNT BOTTOM OUT!!! I KNO FOR A FACT CUZ I RODE IN IT PLENTY OF TIME!!!

 

Some of you guys are being straight-up ********; I don't think that it's a coincidence that the ******** are the ones that can't spell, either.

If you want to drive a car that's slammed to the ground, get an old Impala or a minitruck. They're not out of character when they handle like ****. You've got a ******' RSX -- it's meant for driving, not putzing down the boulevard.

The picture above with the chicken-scratch "Gaps = teh l4ME" only demonstrates that using a flash always makes dirty wheel wells look like ****.

 

Tein Basics..good for Daily Driving..&lt;----i plan on getting those since its my gonna Daily Driver
