OBX is such a shitty company they probly wont even fit the car, if you want something cheeper go with skunk2 but tein would be the way to go.

skunk2 coilovers are only the sleeves. if you get them, do not put the on stock shocks, your ride will be bumpy as hell although it'll look like a full coilover setup.

Do some searching and you'll see that sleeved coilover kits have a habit of making all kinds of noises on the RSX/EP3. If I *had* to buy a sleeved coilover kit, it would be Ground Control. But, I still wouldn't and I'd buy some good quality lowering springs instead.

Sleeved coilover kits on the RSX/EP3 = *Especially* cheap ones.

well my buddy is going on a few months now. but if your taking apart your suspension now just do all of it at once, you'll be a lot happier. there is a huge difference trust me. the stock shocks will probably last a few months, impossible to tell you exactly how long every shock is different but in my honest opinion just save up and upgrade your shock&spring/coilover combo all at once.

agreed. i rode in a friends rsx with stock shocks and ground controls the first day he installed them and it felt worse than riding with blown shocks.
