Default I hate to ask, but I'm going to do it anyway: RSX/EM2 Suspension compatibility question

Would RSX front AND rear strut bars be able to fit onto an EM2? I searched and FAQ'd and came out with nothing.

The search I made just gave me the answer. The front strut bar should be fine regardless, but the rear strut bar will depend on it's shape. If it's a strut bar that sits closer to the front of the car, you may have clearance issues to the back of the rear seats.

We can't all be search champions. Thanks for the answer

I'm certain that you spoke to a representative, and not someone who would know the part's compatibility with different chassis.

I'm pretty sure it does, theres a guy on civicforums.com that has it on his car. Most rsx's front strut towers fit on em/es's chasis (i know for sure cusco, tein, mugen, spoon). Only problem you might run into is finding a strut tower that will clear your intake (aftermarket). That's why you see many 7th gen's with dc or neuspeed strut towers
