My friend had them on his old rsx he was pretty low and they rode pretty good.

But I only got to ride in it once before it got wrecked.

I have had mine on my EK for seven or eight years and I still love them. I wish I could give you feedback on an RSX but not many people buy them for whatever reason. Maybe they're afraid of progressive rates instead of linear rates.

Seriously, cars at auctions are in most cases ****ed up and have previously been in a wreck.

If you want to spend money on that kind of **** then by all means waste away.

Nothing wrong with doing the work, im the same way, but at some auctions you cant see they vehicle from inside nor test drive it. It's just a gamble IMO. I have a friend who got one from an auction and it was ****ed up, he regretted that from the moment he bought it.

Are the rear fenders of the RSX rolled pretty good? If its that same car they looked like they rode awesome. Especially over huge bumps. Rebound and dampening seemed to be on par.

Rode pretty good? That's a very vague answer.

My suspension set up is "comfy" but would be a kidney buster for my grandpa.
Different for everyone.
