Default HELP with dc5 suspension in an EP3.

Hey guys I need your help. I know this topic has been well researched and documented.. I have done my homework..

I need advice.. please comment.


I have a 04 EP3, when I bought it it came with megan coilovers. I wanted to go back to stock struts with a set of lowers springs but unfortunelty it was out of my budget to go brand new..

I did some research on honda-tech and found that rsx suspension fits on a ep3. I read that all you needed to do was change the outer tie rod ends to rsx and shave the rear strut bushing a bit in order to make it fit..

So i came across a set of rsx struts with tein ss springs for cheap..

I bought them, I got the outer tie rods ends installed got the rears shaved and installed.

the rears fit ok.. i had to stretch the suspension quite a bit to get the strut to get in, but its in.. the problem is that its like a monster truck now.. rsx struts with tein springs i thought woulda been a nice height.. but its really high right now..

MY PROBLEM is the front.. i got the tie rods in. the drive side fits perfectly . the height is good. BUT the passenger side front is out to lunch.. way positive camber and way negative toe...

is there somehting that iam missing?

Can someone please comment?

My rear end is sitting way to high.. i did read that the rears were stiffer.. but i didnt think it would make it sit like a monster truck.

The only other thing that i can think of is that the passenger suspension from the rsx that i bought got hit and its causing it to be out to lunch..

if any one has ideas can you please commnet on here or send me an email at marty@westsideacura.com

Basically I have a 04 EP3 and iam trying to put on OEM RSX 02-04 suspension with tein springs.

everything fits . rear sits really high and passenger after installing is out to lunch.. theres no more room on the threads to do any adjustments

THANKS!
