so do you want coilover or shock+springs? i'm riding on buddy club n+ and i think it's great. i've heard good things about tein ssp also, but n+ is cheaper.

Do a search, check the FAQ and look through the last month's worth of posts. This topic comes up all the time.

im definitely going for a full coilover set-up and have seen a few i thought might be good like tein or the gc. i heard from a friend tho that the ground control coil for the rsx isnt one of their stronger suits. personally i love gc but this leads me astray... any feedback?

I have NO complaints with my Tokico Dspec's (EP3). Perfect drop, no annoying squeaks, easy to adjust dampening, and haven't gone soft at all (had for 40,000 miles).

I have the full Tein Super Street Dampers with Pillow mounts, they ride great and are easily adjustable. No noises or other problems out of them, I really love them. Also have progress front and rear sway bars FTW

Not trying to be harsh, but if you had done a search you would have seen that generally, a GC setup for the RSX does kinda suck. And so do a lot of the 'budget' coilover kits for the chassis.

You have a lot of posts...I know you can search and trust me, what you are asking *has* been discussed before, many times.

Some of us get really tired of typing out the same answer time and time again.

And some of us get tired of Old heads complaining all time, you don't like it Grandpa go yell at the kids on your lawn.

As for the OP,
Funtion Form II, K Sport and D2 are all about the same. Good but not the best
Tein are really good but pricey, if you want something else try Skunk2 or Omni, both are good brands for the price.

Right. You wanna search and see how many times I've commented on this? You'd get tired of doing it to. And I mostly do it because of folks giving really sh!tty advice...kind of what you're doing.

So does Omni make RSX suspension now? And you can't be serious when you recommend Skunk2. Do a search on that one and let me know what you find.
