Well...I am not really sure..I have heard a lot that the suspention is almost the same. But I wouldn't take the risk..Why not just get the Skunk 2 kit for our cars...

ep3 will bolt right up. rsx requires rsx tie rod ends and shaving the rear lower shock bushing. but y skunk2? their spring rates suck!

well it depends what you want the car for. if you just want a drop anything will be fine. if you want to start auto-x or tracking the car, start researching suspension components and ours car's suspension design. i just put rsx spec koni/GC setup on my car, well different spring rates, so if you have questions just ask.
