Does anyone know if the suspension from a 05 Type S will fit an 03 EP3? I've been looking at the parts and I'm not seeing a differance. It looks like it would bolt right up. The bad thing is I don't have the setup yet. There's a junk yard that has the 05 Type S full OEM suspension for dirt cheap and I wanted to change my car from a four lug to a five. I've thought about just doing the 04-05 EP3 setup, but it costs to much to buy new parts. The 04-05 EP3 parts are hard to find used.

Give me your info and ideas. I'm open to ideas and thoughts.

 

I know ep3 coilovers fit an rsx as long as you have rsx top hats and ep3 tierod ends. So I imagine if you used your tophats and dc5 tierod ends it should work. The back may be a tight fit at the bottom of the strut, because in an rsx with ep3 coilovers you need washers for a snug fit. But you should be fine.

 

Thanks for the info.

 

might need to shave the rear bushings on the rear struts...

 

is it free? if not might as well spend it for better coilover it'll be better

 

The setup I was looking at is going for $400. The whole 05 Type S suspension including the factory struts and springs. I know why would I want to use factory struts and springs. I'm trying to get back to basics, because this car didn't get any love from the previous owner. Just want to start from groung zero.

 

you may need to get rsx tierods.. I did when running the rsx rsd's

 

Thanks I'll remember that when I get it. Is there anything I need to know since you've already done it?
