i just purchased some lowering springs for my ep3... upon opening the box i realize that the instructions are for an rsx. if the springs are for an rsx will they work for my ep?!!! i how so cause i was really anxious about getting them on my car. help please thanks!

 

go to the eibach site and see if the springs have the same part # as an RSX. if they do, then yes, they will fit.

 

If it's for an 02-04 rsx they will fit no problem... if it's 05-06 you will need to modify them a little!

 

I believe the 05-06 RSX springs are wound the opposite direction. I believe that is the reason they aren't direct bolt up. I will also try and find out because this is good info. for the suspension FAQ thread at the top of the page.

 

lol, yes, the 05-06 types springs are wound in the opperset direction. Honda did this to effect steering feel through the twisting action of the spring through it travel ...to run the later type-s springs you need the type-s shock bodys and hats.....you got lucky, I have seen more than one ep3 on em2 eibach's...some clown there seemed to think the em2 and ep3 were interchangable.....ep3's weigh about 200lbs more so the rates are off. If you see a ep3 on the ground with sportlines, he has the em2 springs.......The only way to tell is the part numbers painted on the springs..

 

Yep you guys were right the springs that I had gotten were for an 05-06 rsx. Had it up on the lift and all tore apart to find out that they were wound opposite directions. Now I gotta deal with them shipping me new stuff. More waiting sucks

 

Tell me about it... I've had parts on back order for 2 weeks now and I found out yesterday they are still 2 weeks out and another week for shipment time to my house... WTF!!!
