a friend of mine put some 2001 civic konis on his type S. i spoke with koni and they mentioned that they may fit right but they are a totally different shock than will be designed for the rsx.

you place the ****, the one that came with the rear struts, ontop of the strut (clearence is very tight) and turn the adjuster...the front adjuster **** has a longer shaft which won't work on the rear...

if it still won't fit, just pull the little plastic thing out from the center of the adjuster **** and cut it shorter and reinstall...that's what i did to give myself extra clearence...late
