Re: Is rsx springs similiar to ep3

So Mustclime you are saying that you can use the springs of a Type-S (or any other such as the Teins that were made for the Type-S) no problems what so ever? Just want to clarify...

yup....For anyone that is looking for a simi underhanded mod for autoXing the ep3 in the stock class, putting in some type-s springs and a set of koni's is a great.

Why is he stupid for??? Because he actually asked a tech related question instead of the what suspension should I put or which do you think looks nicer questions?

And before calling out some one stupid you should learn to write properly cause really all you are doing making yourself sound stupid!

No, his content was actually spot on. His delivery of said content was off. And if you didn't catch my sarcasm in my question, it makes sense why you didn't catch his mistake.

I'm just living up to the title GK blessed me with.

Re: Is rsx springs similiar to ep3

The spring is similiar between 02-04 RSX and the EP3, however, it is different from the 05-06 RSX. If you are swapping these two with each other, EP3 has a lower drop vs rsx. I dont know why you would do this but if you do, good luck
