Default HELP rsx suspension interchangeability

OK guys I have a weird long winded question.

Also yes I have done my research but what I'm looking for is a little bit different lol.

I run circle track and I have an 04 RSX I was wondering what Springs and struts inner change I'm really looking more towards accords elements or crv As I need stiffer springs in certain spots also taller springs and struts.I have read that Gen2 crv struts will Bolt on But I was also wondering about accords or elements anything a little bit heavier. Thank you guys in advance for all of your info

The Accord, CR-V, and Element, Odyssey are all similar struts in the front. Element is going to be the longest strut with the heaviest spring.

And the Element has a larger taper for the rod end link. Easy enough to swap rod ends if you end up using the body of the strut from an Element.

Oh also I think the 02 and early 03 RSX had smaller strut pinch bolts. The later 03's and up had the larger diameter pinch bolts. M14 vs M16 bolts.
