I owne an 03 EP3 Lowered on Tein Basics with a 205/45/17 I have adjusted my suspension several times my final setup is 1-1/2 inches in front with 1-1/4 in the rear, with an RSX Rear sway bar which is thicker than the stock EP3 Sway bar is around 19mm and RSX is 22 or 23mm. My tires don't rub and the car rear end rotates well. I hope this helps but this is only what has worked and given me good lap times.
