My question is how the ride in one of these is. my civic feels a little more raw than my integra while being slower. And im wondering if the rsx takes that feeling farther being bigger and probably more stable suspension wise.

Cliffs: Does the rsx have a weak butt dyno

 

You're gonna have to drive one yourself to figure it out

 

What year Civic do you have now?

The RSX/EP3 have a different feel than the older Civics and Integra, but it may not be what you're looking for. You should go take one for a test drive, lots of used car dealers have RSX's. The ones around here will let you take them out by yourself.

 

i have a 95 ex(ej1) and a 94 integra and i do plan on test driving/buying one

 

when I went from my 99 civic si to my 2005 rsx-s is was night and day. I thought the ride was a whole hell of a lot smoother and thought it handled better in my opinion. I would try and see if there are any dealerships around your area and see if you can test drive one to get a real feel for it though.

 

My first 2 cars were a 1990 integra LS and a 1995 integra LS. My last car was a 2001 civic EX and my current car is a 2002 civic Si. There is a huge difference between how the old double-wishbone hondas feel compared to the newer macpherson strut hondas. My integras felt a lot more "raw" than my civics and the 1995 integra was the best handling car I've had, hands down. The EM2 and EP3 civics are a lot more comfortable for daily driving and the suspension takes a little more tuning to get it where you want it performance-wise. I changed the suspension on my EP3 to a DC5 Type-R suspension plus a bigger rear sway bar and now it has more of that "raw" feeling but not as raw as the integra. The integra would go wherever I wanted it to go. The EP3 does also but she puts up more of a fight lol.

 

I do think my EP3 has a much better ride, and overall quality feel over the old 4th gen Preludes I owned.

I don't think my EP3 handles quite as good with Tein SS coilovers as my old Hondas did, but I think its close. I really don't care for the Macpherson strut setup.
