I have Tein basics on mine and i love them. Their the perfect balance of stiff and smooth. if your looking for slammage go with Ksport, but i love my Teins

 

Wrong! If you are looking for slammage go with the Megan strait arm coilover!

 

my friends dc5 rolls on tein ss........its stiff but handles excellent

 

search "curry acura aspec kit".....get the suspension kit for the rsx then go to any oe acura sight and order a set of tie rod ends and nuts for the 02-06 rsx...the a-spec kit is 650 and the tie rod ends are around 40 each(you need 2).....this set up will drop your ep3 around 1 inch and it strait from honda so you know its good quality...the a spec kit is for the people that wanted to make the type-s more agressive.....you need the tie rod ends because the dc5 had bigger ones because it was supose to be more sportie.... If you ever take the car to the dealer for service, they should not give you crap likethey will for any other mods...

 

(tried the search button, either was not my style or no help at all)
(sorrry for repeating this thread)

thanks for the help fellahs!
did sum research and i think imma go wit mugen ss. any thoughts on my decision?
the mugen spring rates were the closest to oem am pretty sure theyll last as long.
i would of gone wit hfp but they all out >_< haha
mugen goes lower than hfp right?
aight tell me what you guys think,
thanks again

 

the mugen ss is pretty much the same as the aspec suspension

 

 

LOL^^

 

haha. wat i ment was that they stopped making them and its hella hard to find

 

auto companies have to produce parts for ten years after first production, it has not been ten years...call the stealership, they can order them for you!

 

Ordered mine today

My BC N+ has been good but I just want to change it up.

 

doesn't the new buddy club n+ spec have a straight arm just like the megans?

 

nope

Josh I am still hurt you didn't offer the BC to me :'( lol

 

I just want to issue a general caution not to drop a DC5 or EP3 very much.

Although they learned their lessons and reclined the struts for the 2006 Civic design, the EP3 and DC5 have relatively short struts on the nose, and they are mounted straight up and down with short, fat springs.

It's very, very hard to lower these cars very much without introducing an issue related to blowing the front struts when hitting really relatively minor bumps or going through relatively shallow pot holes.

You also have the problem that the tie rods are mounted to the struts, and connect to a steering rack that's relatively high up in the car.

Please think carefully before you lower these cars very much. :-) I wouldn't lower them any more than the OEM HFP, OEM A-Spec or OEM Mugen Sports suspension.

Now that I think of it, I have blown even the Mugen Sports struts.

 

**** go with the tien i had some on my EG and they where great

 

Don't slam your EP.
